How can you use a scoreboard to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/simon-sinek-motivation\/\">motivate your team<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4DX scoreboard is used in Discipline 3 for engagement. By giving everyone a visual stake in success, they are more likely to be dedicated to achieving it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for more about the 4DX scoreboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Discipline 3 and the 4DX Scoreboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Discipline 3 engages your team by making the achievement of the WIG into a game they can win with the 4DX scoreboard. <\/strong>Humans have a natural urge to compete, and people behave differently when they see an opportunity to win\u2014they become highly motivated and engaged, and this drives a high level of performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opposite is also true\u2014it\u2019s human nature not to try as hard as you can if no one\u2019s keeping score. For example, consider this anecdote about an important high school football game. Hurricane Katrina had knocked down the scoreboard, but the field was fine, so the game went ahead. But because the fans couldn\u2019t see the score, no one knew what was going on in the game, and no one cared about the game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors claim that an opportunity to win is one of the most powerful ways to engage people, more powerful than money, benefits, conditions, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-improve-work-relationships\/\">workplace relationships<\/a>. People desperately want the opportunity to achieve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>People perform best when they are <\/strong><strong><em>personally <\/em><\/strong><strong>winning.<\/strong> They don\u2019t necessarily care whether the organization or their boss is winning, they care<em> if the team they\u2019re on<\/em> is winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning, in the context of Discipline 3, is achieving the WIG. The score is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/lead-and-lag-measures\/\">lead and lag measures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your team must always know the score or else they don\u2019t know what to do to win.<\/strong> If they don\u2019t know, they\u2019re not trying to win, they\u2019re just trying to not lose (survive the whirlwind of their daily activities). A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-learn-concepts\/\">conceptual understanding<\/a> of lead and lag measures is completely different from a team that knows their score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The leader must set up the game so it\u2019s winnable\u2014the lead measures must influence the lag measures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The score is measured on a literal scoreboard.<\/strong> There are two types of scoreboards, and as you\u2019ll see, the one you want to use is a player\u2019s 4DX scoreboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Leader\u2019s (\u201cCoach\u201d) Scoreboard<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A leader\u2019s scoreboard is made up of complex spreadsheets or visuals that display leader-level data with an overwhelming amount of data. This scoreboard is so complicated that only the leader can read it or draw any conclusions from it. Leaders create this kind of scoreboard instinctively and you probably already have some version of this that contains data such as historical trends, detailed analysis, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The leader updates these kinds of scoreboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Employees\u2019 (\u201cPlayers\u201d) Scoreboard<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An employees\u2019 scoreboard is made up of simple, visual graphs that show only the important information\u2014where you are and where do you need to be, i.e., are you winning or losing? Leaders have to consciously choose to create (or ideally get their employees to create) this kind of scoreboard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The players update the 4DX scoreboard<\/strong> <strong>and it forces them to act.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A player\u2019s 4DX scoreboard has these requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>It\u2019s simple.<\/strong> The card should only contain minimal information. Don\u2019t include any extra information such as reports, year-over-year comparisons, and so on. A simple scoreboard is easier to update, and the easier it is to keep score, the less likely it is that people will put it off when the whirlwind strikes.&nbsp;<ul><li>For example, consider a scoreboard at any professional sports game. It contains only a few pieces of information such as the score and time left in the game.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>It\u2019s visible.<\/strong> The scoreboard has to compete with the whirlwind for attention, so it needs to require no extra work to access. Put it where people will see it often, or if you have remote team members, do a digital version. A public scoreboard makes people more accountable, because everyone can see who\u2019s contributing most. If you want to be most motivating, post it where other teams can see it.<ul><li>For example, if employees on day and night shifts can see each shift\u2019s scores, they might compete to beat each others\u2019 production numbers.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>It\u2019s complete. <\/strong>Typically, scoreboards have a visual for the WIG and each lead measure. The scoreboard must display the target and where the team is currently at. On the WIG\u2019s visual, the target is the point B value. On the lead measures\u2019 visuals, the target is usually a static standard of performance that must be reached and maintained. If you don\u2019t have data on your target, estimate. (For example, if your WIG is to improve something you\u2019ve never measured before, or it&#8217;s something qualitative.) <strong>It is critical to have a target line, even if it\u2019s not based on hard data, <\/strong>because if you don\u2019t have a target, you can\u2019t tell if you\u2019re winning. In the interest of completeness, you can also include:<ul><li>Legends and simple labels so everyone understands what the scoreboard shows.<\/li><li>If your scoreboard is anything other than a trend line, it can be helpful to do the math and show the numerical difference between the target and current numbers.&nbsp;<\/li><li>You can also do ramp-up targets for lead measures rather than a static target, if you prefer.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>It\u2019s quickly readable.<\/strong> Anyone looking at the scoreboard should be able to tell within five seconds if they\u2019re winning or losing. The scorecard must show where they are and where they should be at an exact moment in time. You can use colors such as red and green to make things even more obvious.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The scoreboard must be regularly updated or people will lose interest and the whirlwind will overtake the game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4DX scoreboard itself isn\u2019t what engages people, the game does. For example, no one\u2019s going to comment on how beautiful the scoreboard was at the Olympic gold medal hockey game, they\u2019re going to comment on the game. <strong>The scoreboard is a just a reminder\u2014a <em>constant <\/em>reminder\u2014of the ongoing game.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the 4DX scoreboard and why is it important?
