The Four Disciplines of Execution

The Four Disciplines of Execution

Focus on the Critical

In business, survival depends on meeting objectives. Most failures in organizations today are not the result of a lack of smarts, they are caused by a lack of execution -- things just don't get done. Defining a clear strategy and setting goals is one thing, sticking to strategy and meeting those goals is quite another. The 4 Disciplines of Execution teaches how to focus on your top priorities and get the critical things accomplished. Whether you are a member of a team, lead a team, or lead an entire organization, this workshop will equip you to deliver on your top priorities consistently.

What You'll Learn

Four universal business disciplines that deliver results again and again:

a. Focus on the Wildly Important
b. Create a Compelling Scoreboard
c. Translate Lofty Goals into Specific Actions
d. Hold Each Other Accountable -- All of the Time

Each discipline includes a business principle, old thinking, new thinking, and a metaphor that further clarifies the learning. A bonus section, "Implementing the Disciplines," supported by a special resource CD, gives critical information about activating the power of the 4 Disciplines in your organization.

User Reviews

Excellent
rating: 5

One of the best business CDs I have listened to. The four disciplines are presented in a very accessible way, with many examples. I found myself making many mental notes of actions to take on a personal level and with my team.

Weak on it's own
rating: 3

I attended this training session in person, and purchased the CD's from Amazon to share with team mates who were not able to go. While I believe the CD's are a good reinforcement and reminder for me.... alone, they lack meaning in many areas and would be weak training at best. This is mostly a recording of a live training session, without the benefit of the workbooks or group interaction.

Nothing New or Exciting About Execution Here
rating: 2

This audio learning program is just a waste of time and money on the part of the listeners. Nothing new or exciting about Execution here, except showing off jargons like EXQ (Execution Quotient), and using big words like the 4 Disciplines--- including:1)Focus on Wilding Important Goals, 2)Use of Scoreboard, 3)Translating Loofty Goals into Actions, and 4)Holding People Accountable for Results.

I think people in undergraduate Business Programs or MBA Programs already learned these common sensical staff.

Franklin Covey needs to catch up, innovate, and deliver practical stuff for practising managers!

Stephen R. Covey is only the co-star in the program by which Franklin Covey should make this clear to consumers upfront.

Quite disappointed with this purchase because it is very theoretical and the ideas are not easily executed in the Age of Trust Erosion between corporations and their downsized labour force these days.

Try Peter Drucker's Effective Executive, you will get far far more.
