1. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)
Discipline 1: Focus on your Wildly Important Goals (WIGs)
Set only 1 or 2 measurable, achievable goals that you believe will lead to your success
WIGs are not strategy statements, they actually set a goal from x to y by when
Discipline 2: Gain leverage by acting on Lead Measures
Lag Measures define the success of your goals, but are hard for the team to influence
Lead Measures are predictive of achieving the lag measure, and are easier to influence
Discipline 3: Engage your team with a Compelling Scoreboard
The team needs a compelling visual display that everyone can see
It should show the progress of the lag and lead measures – and should take 5 seconds to answer the question, “Are we winning?”
Discipline 4: Drive progress with a Cadence of Accountability
All team members commit to making some difference in the next week
The team meets weekly to confirm progress and support each other
Each commitment must be something that you believe will move the lead measures
