DISCIPLINES YOU NEED TO SUCCEED
The first is the discipline of focus— deciding on a wildly important goal.
Writing about The 4 Disciplines of Execution (2012) I ended last week’s article with a description of these four disciplines:
The first is the discipline of focus— deciding on a wildly important goal. Then the discipline of leverage— the key behavior that influences reaching your goal. Then the discipline of engagement— using the scoreboard which wins a person’s commitment to the goal because he or she can tell when they are winning. The fourth discipline is the discipline of accountability or ownership— being held accountable by one’s immediate peers.
This is how you get things done: Focus— Leverage — Engagement — Accountability. The authors present these disciplines as the science and strategy which supports the ability to actually implement goals. Since this speaks to the very heart of what you do as a Meta-Coach, I summarize it here to expand your understanding of the implementation process. After all, this is not only a key theme in Neuro-Semantics, it also determines your success with your clients which will get your clients coming back for more.
