The
real problem of execution from a psychological, creative and managerial
perspective, for businesses as well as individuals. In here there are
arguments that centrifuge or better say oppose initial thoughts of what
it takes to keep going. Furthermore, creativity and inspiration may come
from unsuspected sources as this depends on the temperament of the
creator. At the end of the day, possessing the usual insanity of high
profile projects suggests that we may dream or fantasize of doing lots
of things, but when the time of execution comes we realize some things
are not possible. Know what else? It can also act as a metaphor...
Unless some thoughts, plans or chimeras get really buried (executed),
there may not be salvation. Have a great time!
The Four Disciplines of Execution is about a simple, proven
formula for reaching the goals you want to reach as a business or
individual. In Covey's experience, the thing that most undermines the
ability to execute goals is what he calls the Whirlwind: those urgent
tasks that must be done simply to keep an organization alive. As Covey
shows, the only way to execute new, important goals is to separate those
goals from the Whirlwind.
The Four Disciplines allow leaders to create a strategy that requires a change in behaviour, since only by ensuring that everyone on the team understands the goal, knows what to do to reach it and knows whether progress is being made, will a leader produce consistent breakthrough results while sustaining the urgent work of the Whirlwind.
The Four Disciplines of Execution are: 1. Focus on the Wildly Important; 2. Act on the Lead Measures; 3. Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; 4. Create a Cadence of Accountability.
For more than a decade Franklin Covey has been studying what it takes to achieve important goals, and in this book they share success stories from a wide range of companies that have implemented the Four Disciplines to result in greater profits, increased market share and improved customer satisfaction. This way of thinking is essential to any company that wants to not only weather, but thrive in this economy.
