In this interview, Dr. Leslie explains how FranklinCovey’s The 4 Disciplines of Execution® (4DX), can transform a disconnected and inefficient college or university into a high-performing, cohesive organization that develops its teams creates unstoppable momentum and promises direct and indirect ROI in the form of increased revenues, reduced costs, employee-led leadership, and more.


What are The 4 Disciplines of Execution®?

Discipline 1: Focus on the Wildly Important—the discipline of focus. Exceptional execution starts with narrowing the focus and clearly identifying what must be done. Discipline 1 requires you to focus on less in order to accomplish more.

Discipline 2: Act on the Lead Measures—the discipline of leverage. Based on the principle that not all actions are created equal, Discipline 2 teaches how to identify and act on the activities with the highest leverage.

Discipline 3: Keep a Compelling Scoreboard—the discipline of engagement. People play differently when they are keeping score. Discipline 3 introduces the use of participant-designed scoreboards and how they impact people's performances.

Discipline 4: Create a Cadence of Accountability—the discipline of accountability. People have the responsibility to hold each other accountable for the commitments they have made. Discipline 4 establishes a rhythm of frequent meetings that focus on the Wildly Important Goal.
