About this listen
In education, setting goals is easy—but achieving them is hard. It’s easy to understand why. Every day, educators face an overwhelming whirlwind of urgent tasks, making it nearly impossible to focus on long-term objectives. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) offers a proven framework that has helped thousands of schools worldwide break through this barrier to achieve their most important goals.
This groundbreaking book shows educators at every level how to:
-Focus on the one or two goals that will make the biggest difference, using the principle of “less is more.”
-Identify and act on high-leverage activities that predictably drive results.
-Create visible, compelling score boarding that motivates students and staff.
-Build a culture of shared accountability that gets everyone engaged in the goal.
Through inspiring real-world examples—from improving graduation rates to dramatically boosting reading proficiency scores—the authors demonstrate how schools have used these four simple but powerful disciplines to achieve what once seemed impossible. Whether you’re a superintendent, principal, teacher, or support staff member, this book provides the complete framework you need to cut through the daily chaos and consistently deliver on your most critical educational priorities.
Based on timeless principles of human effectiveness and backed by years of successful implementation in schools globally, The 4 Disciplines of Execution for Educators is an essential operating system for any educator serious about turning their biggest goals into reality.
Critic Reviews
“The 4 Disciplines of Execution offers more than theories for making strategic organizational change. The authors explain not only the ‘what’ but also ‘how’ effective execution is achieved. They share numerous examples of companies that have done just that, not once, but over and over again. This is a book that every leader should read!”
