Keynote: The 4 Disciplines of Execution
Guest Speaker: Chris McChesney
Do you remember the last major initiative you watched die in your business? 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? The whirlwind of urgent activity required to keep YOUR BUSINESS running day-to-day devoured all the time and energy you needed to invest in executing your strategy.
- Focus on the Wildly Important. Exceptional execution starts with narrowing the focus— clearly identifying what must be done, or nothing else you achieve really matters much.
- Act on the Lead Measures. Twenty percent of activities produce eighty percent of results. The highest predictors of goal achievement are the 80/20 activities that are identified and codified into individual actions and tracked fanatically.
- Keep a Compelling Scoreboard. People and teams play differently when they are keeping score, and the right kind of scoreboards motivate the players to win.
- Create a Cadence of Accountability. Great performers thrive in a culture of accountability that is frequent, positive, and self-directed. Each team engages in a simple weekly process that highlights successes, analyzes failures, and course-corrects as necessary, creating the ultimate performance-management system.
Every leader has goals they want to achieve, but how do you focus and leverage your teams to accomplish them despite a whirlwind of competing priorities? Unlock the secrets to effective strategy execution with The 4 Disciplines of Execution® methodology, proven to elevate organizational performance.
