4 DISCIPLINES OF EXECUTION
The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) methodology outlines a structured approach for achieving strategic goals and executing effectively. COVEY, Franklin, 2012.
Many of us are stuck in the daily routine of our lives and careers. Our worries drag us down and remove the focus that will enable us to advance our projects. Here is where the Four Disciplines of Execution come in handy to help us achieve our goals and objectives.
By implementing these disciplines, we can overcome the whirlwind of daily tasks and achieve breakthrough results on our most important goals.
SIX SOURCES OF INFLUENCE IN ADDITION WITH 4 DX
4 DX
-
Focus on the Wildly Important
-
Act on Lead Measures
-
Keep a Compelling Scoreboard
-
Create a Cadence of Accountability
5 STAGES OF CHANGE
-
Getting Clear: In this early stage, the team will determine the Wildly Important Goal (WIG), establish lag and lead measures, and create a primary scoreboard.
-
Launching: In this stage, the team is put into action on the WIG and is organizing to start working with Blended Learning and Station Rotation.
-
Adopting: Here, the team adopts the 4DX process, and we must adapt to working with the four disciplines. Despite the whirlwind’s demands, each team member holds each other accountable for the new performance standard.
-
Optimizing: At this point, the Kindergarten team should have a 4DX mentality, which entails working with a goal in mind, being more diligent, and taking the initiative to maximize their effectiveness.
-
Habits: In the last phase, the Kindergarten team forms work routines and adopts the 4dx approach to accomplishing a specific task. We use this approach in all upcoming group projects, promoting the use of the 4dx and fostering an environment of excellence.The Four Disciplines of Execution and the Six Sources of Influence have the same goal: Using various skills to accomplish a predetermined task. While the Four Disciplines place more emphasis on teamwork, and the Six Sources stress individual preparation, combining the two methods in a project can significantly impact student learning, which is ultimately the end goal.
By leveraging the six sources of influence, I can choose and imitate the behaviors required to attain lesser goals, eventually leading to achieving the larger goal. The four Disciplines of Execution provide a valuable and organized method for creating and carrying out goals. Concentrating on the most critical goals is crucial to generating breakthrough achievements, enhancing motivation, and improving alignment.
