I don’t know why i have this book or when i got it but tell me why it’s kind of helping me with my daily goals??

When work gives you books you literally are getting paid to read

Reading for work

Great

“We are built for novelty and excitement…Discipline is something we have to work at.”

“If you’re not keeping score, you’re just practicing.”

Authority alone at best yields only compliance from a team.

If the overall WIG is…Then rank the team WIG in terms of
IF A financial goal
THEN Prospective revenues, profitability, investment performance, cash flow, and/or cost savings.
IF A quality goal
THEN Efficiencies gained, cycle times, productivity improvements, and/or customer satisfaction
IF A strategic goal
THEN Service to the mission, competitive advantages gained, opportunities captured, and/or threats reduced.

If The team is the organization (e.g., a small business or nonprofit) then Gather ideas that will have the most impact on achieving the mission or growing the organization.

If the team is part of an organization with many goals, then Gather ideas on which of the organizational goals are more crucial than others.
If The organization has already designated WIG(s) at the top level then Gather ideas on how to contribute to the established WIG(s).

Stage 5: Habits
When 4DX becomes habitual, you can expect not only to reach the goal, but also see a permanent rise in the level of your team's performance. The ultimate aim of 4DX is not just to get results, but to create a culture of excellent execution.

Stage 4: Optimization
At this stage, the team shifts to a 4DX mindset. You can expect them to become more purposeful and more engaged in their work as they produce results that make a difference. They will start looking for ways to optimize their performance-they now know what "playing to win" feels like.

Stage 3: Adoption

Team members adopt the 4DX process, and new behaviors drive the achievement of the WIG.
You can expect resistance to fade and enthusiasm to increase as 4DX begins to work for them.
They become accountable to each other for the new level of performance despite the demands of the whirlwind.

Stage 2: Launch

“Now the team is at the starting line. Whether you hold a formal kickoff meeting or gather your team in a brief huddle, you launch the team into action on the WIG. But just as a rocket requires tremendous, highly focused energy to escape the earth's gravity, the team needs intense involvement from the leader at this point of launch.”

Five stages of change

Stage 1: getting clear

“The leader and the team commit to a new level of performance.
They are oriented to 4DX and develop crystal-clear WIGs, lag and lead measures, and a compelling scoreboard. They commit to regular WIG Sessions.
Although you can naturally expect varying levels of commitment, team members will be more motivated if they are closely involved in the 4DX work session.”

Honestly, why aren't more places taking this approach?

Puntos Importantes:
1. Definir cuáles son las batallas que tengo que ganar para llegar a mi meta
2. Si los líderes no se involucran, no pueden generar el compromiso que se requiere
3. “X a Y en tal plazo”
4. Preguntas sobre mis metas: ¿Son claras? ¿Se pueden medir? ¿Cuantas son? ¿Está la línea de meta definida?
5. El verdadero cambio es transformar la estrategia en algo ejecutable

En esta parte del libro tuve oportunidad de conocer las 4 disciplinas:

1. Enfoque: Saber cual la meta
2. Actuar sobre las Medidas: ¿Que tengo que hacer para alcanzarla?
3. Redención de Cuentas
4. Tablero de resultados

Aprendizajes:
Algunas acciones tienen más impacto que otras para conseguir el objetivo.
Una tarea a la vez.
Muchas metas son importantes, solo unas son cruciales.

Glorified SMART goals.

The concept and the disciplines are very interesting and motiving to start working with them right away and I will as soon as I have the chance; I did not like the mixture of examples, I mean you can notice that one page you are reading about company 1 and next page you are reading about company 2 and next it comes back to the company number 1 and so on; it’s a great book.

Empezando “Las 4 Disciplinas de la Ejecución” y me siento bastante emocionada por este libro. El poder conocer diferentes perspectivas sobre cómo mejorar/diseñar mi estilo de liderazgo me ilusiona demasiado! Hasta el momento se siente como una lectura sencilla donde no solamente te explican cuáles son los retos a los que se enfrentan los grandes líderes sino como los resolvieron y porque se crearon :)
