Can you relate to this scenario? You and your team schedule time to work on your goals for the upcoming year and at the planning session there is enthusiasm in the air as you think about the exciting changes ahead. Fast forward a few months. Little has changed. The new goals rarely get discussed. Momentum is lost. It’s business-as-usual for the foreseeable future. Planning is the easy part. Implementation is hard. Why? There is only so much time and energy in our day. When daily operations consume that time and energy, our plans for anything new often fizzle. Focusing on the wildly important, acting on lead measures, having a scoreboard, and creating a cadence of accountability leads to successful implementation. These tools, as described in “The Four Disciplines of Execution”, serve as the foundation for this session.
