The 4 Disciplines of Execution process is based upon the
The process provides organizations with a framework for creating a culture of performance. It focuses on leaders getting people and teams to align their efforts in doing the right things at the right times – the wildly important goals, initiatives, projects, and tasks that are most critical to the organization. By changing the way team members engage with each other to achieve the goals, managers can dramatically improve the impact of their team’s performance. The 4 Disciplines of Execution are as follows:
1. Focus on the Wildly Important: Give best effort to those few goals that really matter instead of giving mediocre effort to dozens of goals.
2. Act on Lead Measures: Carefully track the lead measures and let the lag measures take care of themselves.
3. Keep a Compelling Scoreboard: Ensure everyone knows the score at all times so they can tell if they are winning or not.
4. Create a Cadence of Accountability: Hold frequent, regular accountability sessions to advance the Wildly Important Goals.
Included in the process is FranklinCovey’s 4DXOS, an online tool fully designed to support The 4 Disciplines of Execution methodology. It allows organizations to track commitments and goal achievement, provides a cadence of accountability to both organizations and individuals, and ensures overall success in achieving superior results.
