About this template

What are the 4 Disciplines of Execution?

"The 4 Disciplines of Execution" is a framework developed by Sean Covey for executing on goals, consisting of four key disciplines.

  1. Focus on the wildly important
  2. Act on the lead measures
  3. Keep a compelling scoreboard
  4. Create a cadence of accountability

The idea behind the framework is that by focusing on a limited number of priorities, and by regularly measuring their progress with lead metrics - one is able to create a culture of execution and achieve breakthrough results.

How do I use the template?

The 4DX framework is pretty straightforward for anyone familiar with modern management systems, with only a couple of unique changes that give it its unique focus.

The template is organized in a kanban board with each of the 4 disciplines placed in a column. Each column contains key definitions, tips that are relevant to that discipline and a checklist to actually implement the 4DX system. You can use the template as you go through the book or as a standalone reference when you're working with your team.
