The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals Hardcover - 2012 - 1st Edition

by Chris McChesney; Sean Covey; Jim Huling


Summary

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, itâÈçs likely no one even noticed.

What happened? The âÈêwhirlwindâÈë 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 all that forever.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) is a simple, repeatable, and proven formula for executing on your most important strategic priorities in the midst of the whirlwind. By following The 4 Disciplines:

âÈò Focusing on the Wildly Important

âÈò Acting on Lead Measures

âÈò Keeping a Compelling Scoreboard

âÈò Creating 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 resultsâÈ'regardless of the goal. 4DX represents a new way of thinking and working that is essential to thriving in todayâÈçs competitive climate. Simply put, this is one book that no business leader can afford to miss.
