4 Disciplines of Execution

The 4 Disciplines of Execution

Last month, we finished the book The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling. The book offers a roadmap for organizations to successfully accomplish their goals through proven practices that have been tested over many years.

Discipline 1: Focus on The Wildly Important Goal (WIG)

Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures 

Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard

Discipline 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability

While reading about Discipline 2, as a team, we tracked our leads and lags for our organization's goal and report on their status whenever we have our regular team meetings. It keeps us more accountable and always in sight of our goals.

Team Highlights

Corazon de Vida Golf Tournament 

It was so great getting to support Corazon de Vida on the golf course! For every golfer we had join, $50 was donated to Corazon de Vida in support of the orphaned and abandoned children in Baja, Mexico. A day of golfing that supports a great cause feels like a hole in one! To learn more and participate before the tournament is over, click here to go to the Corazon de Vida Tournament site.

Some of the Bird Rock System's Team and our partners were able to hit the course at the Del Mar Country Club. Here are some highlights from the event.
