That\u2019s the easy part\u2014next you have to figure out how to <em>implement<\/em> the strategy. <em>The 4 Disciplines of Execution<\/em> harnesses and hones four disciplines that, when properly and specifically applied, allow you to carry out your strategy. When you make use of 1) focus, 2) leverage, 3) engagement, and 4) accountability, not only will you execute your strategies, you\u2019ll create permanent behavioral change and increase engagement. Here are <em>The 4 Disciplines of Execution<\/em> discussion questions to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Discussion Questions<\/strong> About Focus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most leaders know that focus is important but find it difficult to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What factors make it difficult for you to choose a focus? Consider internal factors such as your own nature or desire to look good, what others ask of you, and your whirlwind.<\/li><li>Think of three new projects you\u2019re excited to work on. Then, choose only one of them. How did you decide which one to pick?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Find Lead Measures<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four steps to finding lead measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Recall the team WIG you came up with in the previous exercise. Brainstorm a list of possible lead measures that will affect the WIG\u2019s lag measures (X and Y). Remember, lead measures must be both predictable and influenceable.<\/li><li>Think about how the lead measures you came up with above will influence your team WIG. You probably came up with several good ideas\u2014narrow the list down to the most impactful two or three.<\/li><li>Test your top lead measure ideas. Are they maintainable, measurable, impactful? What makes them so? Do team members move the measures, instead of the leader? How do you know?<\/li><li>Write your lead measure in its final form. Start with a simple verb and keep the wording concise and concrete. Consider: are your tracking individual or team performance? Is the timeline daily or weekly? How much and how well should the measure be executed?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Engages You?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People are most engaged when they feel like they\u2019re playing a game they can win. <em>The 4 Disciplines of Execution<\/em> discussion questions below are all about engagement and scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Imagine the last time you did something without keeping track of the score. For example, you might have been playing catch with your daughter, reading a book, or making dinner. How motivated and engaged were you?<\/li><li>Now, imagine you were doing a version of that activity that involved competition. The examples from above transform into playing a baseball game, coming up with the most insightful response in your book club, and competing in<em> Iron Chef<\/em>. How motivated and engaged are you now?<\/li><li>Pick an activity you&#8217;d like to get better at. How can you use competition to increase your engagement?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>The 4 Disciplines of Execution<\/em> Discussion Questions<\/strong> on Scoreboards<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four steps to creating a player\u2019s scoreboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Recall the WIG and lead measures you came up with in the previous two exercises. Think about what scoreboard format would be most appropriate. Remember, some of the options are trend lines, bar charts, gauges, and andon charts.<\/li><li>Test your scoreboard. Is it simple, visible, complete, and quick to read? What makes it so? Where will you display it?<\/li><li>Imagine you\u2019ve asked your team to physically create the scoreboard. What materials can you give them to build and personalize it?<\/li><li>Consider your team members, and which of them would make good scorekeepers. Remember that the board <em>must <\/em>be updated at least weekly to be effective. What individual or group do you trust with this responsibility?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Run a WIG Session<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/wig-session\/\">WIG session<\/a> has a very specific agenda. Imagine you\u2019re leading a WIG session. Recall your WIG, lead measures, and scoreboard from the previous exercises. Use these <em>The 4 Disciplines of Execution<\/em> discussion questions to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The first step of a WIG session is to review the scoreboard. Picture your scoreboard\u2014how will you summarize it for your team? (Consider if your lead measures are moving your lag measures, and if the team or individuals are meeting or exceeding the performance standard on the lag measures.) How will you celebrate top performance?<\/li><li>The second step of a WIG session is to report on last week\u2019s commitments. Recall one of the commitments you made in the exercise after Discipline 4 (or invent a new one). Assume you completed it. What did you learn? How do you feel about successful completion?<\/li><li>The third step is to make new commitments for next week. As the leader, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/making-commitments\/\">make a commitment<\/a> that moves the lead measure, or a commitment to helping the team improve their execution. What is your new commitment? How did you choose it?<\/li><li>What will you do if a team member tells you that they weren\u2019t able to complete their commitment from last week?<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you looking for The 4 Disciplines of Execution discussion questions?
