Dilemma For fans of Good to Great and The First 90 Days, The Four Disciplines

Do you remember the last major initiative you watched die in your
organization? Did it go down with a loud crash? Or was it slowly and quietly
suffocated by other competing priorities? By the time it finally disappeared,
it’s likely no one even noticed. What happened? Often, the answer is that the
“whirlwind” of urgent activity required to keep things running day-to-day
devoured all the time and energy you needed to invest in executing your
strategy for tomorrow. The 4 Disciplines of Execution can change that forever.
The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) is a simple, repeatable, and proven
formula for executing your most important strategic priorities in the midst of
the whirlwind. By following the 4 Disciplines—Focus on the Wildly Important;
Act on Lead Measures; Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; Create a Cadence of
Accountability—leaders can produce breakthrough results, even when executing
the strategy requires a significant change in behavior from their teams. 4DX
is not 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. 4DX represents a new way to think and
work that is essential to thriving in today’s competitive climate. The 4
Disciplines of Execution is one book that no business leader can afford to
miss. Read more
