The 4 Disciplines of Execution®
Chris McChesney, Jim Huling, and Sean Covey collaborated to author this #1 Wall Street Journal Business Bestseller. The 4 Disciplines of Execution create a winnable game. They give you the power to execute on your most important goals in the face of competing priorities and distractions.
The 4 Disciplines of Execution is not a theory. It is a proven set of practices that have been tested and refined by hundreds of organizations and thousands of teams over many years. When a company or an individual adheres to these disciplines, they achieve superb results, regardless of the goal. The disciplines are powerful yet simple. They are not, however, simplistic. They can be challenging to apply and sustain as they require us to work differently than we normally do.
Exceptional execution starts with narrowing the focus— clearly identifying what must be done, or nothing else you achieve really matters much.
Twenty percent of activities produce eighty percent of results. The highest predictors of goal achievement are the 80/20 activities that are identified and codified into individual actions and tracked fanatically.
People and teams play differently when they are keeping score, and the right kind of scoreboards motivate the players to win.
Each team engages in a simple weekly process that highlights successes, analyzes failures, and course-corrects as necessary, creating the ultimate performance-management system.
The objective of the 4DX process is to teach leaders how to help their teams execute on their highest priorities in the midst of the whirlwind of the day-to-day. We find that by not just teaching 4DX to leaders, but teaching them to teach and implement the process with their teams, they “own the process” at a deeper level and the results are often groundbreaking. Through thousands of implementations, we have identified four critical milestones that must be achieved for optimal results and engagement.
The 4DX process has been refined to achieve three objectives:
● High quality implementation in the shortest possible time
● Maximum leader and team engagement with minimum disruption to business operations
● Sustainable WIG results through full process adoption (new habits)
