The 4 Disciplines of Execution
Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, Jim Huling, 2012
In one paragraph
A practical framework for executing strategy through four disciplines: focus on wildly important goals, act on lead measures, keep a compelling scoreboard, and create a weekly cadence of accountability. The revised and updated edition adds new case studies and implementation guidance for teams and organizations.
Where this sits in the operating system
Focus & Essentialism
Continuous Improvement & Feedback Loops
Systems Over Goals
Systems Over Goals
Key insights
The whirlwind of daily urgency is not the obstacle to execution, it is the condition under which execution has to happen.
One or two wildly important goals. More than two and the organisation has none.
Lead measures are predictive and influenceable. Lag measures tell you the result when it is too late to affect it.
Recognise it early
The failure and the correction sit side by side deliberately. Read the left column asking whether any of it is already true of you.
Too many WIGs
Weak lead measures
Invisible scoreboard
Meetings without commitments
Whirlwind overwhelm
The same idea, argued differently

Before you close this
Naming the specific moment you will act roughly doubles the odds you do.
