A PROVEN WORK PROCESS FOR EXECUTING YOUR TEAM’S MOST IMPORTANT GOALS

Effective leadership means knowing how to get work done with and through other people. Based on the best- selling book The 4 Disciplines of Execution, the Execute your Team’s Strategy and Goals module also helps leaders learn and implement the proven 4 Disciplines of Execution® process for their teams.

THE 4 DISCIPLINES OF EXECUTION®

The enemy of goal execution is the whirlwind, the day-to-day activities that consume people’s energies and are required just to keep the doors open. Effective leaders institutionalize four core disciplines in order to sucessfully execute with their teams:

Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important. Leaders need to focus their teams’ energies on the Wildly Important Goals®, or WIGs®, and help their teams do more on less.

Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures. Leaders and teams identify and measure the activities that are most likely to predict achievement of the goal, and prioritize them day-to-day.

Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard. Teams keep score of both the lead and lag measures to track progress on WIG achievement and progress.

Discipline 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability. Teams that execute meet every week to report on commitments, track the scoreboard, and make new commitments to achieve the goal.
