Die beste Planung und Strategie ist hinfällig, wenn es an der Umsetzung mangelt. Viel zu oft versanden Vorhaben, haben größere und langfristige Projekte im Alltag nahezu immer das Nachsehen. Manche Unternehmen schaffen es jedoch, kontinuierlich Strategie mit Alltagsgeschäft erfolgreich zu verbinden. Doch was ist deren Geheimnis? Die Autoren stellen das weltweit bewährte Konzept von FranklinCovey vor, mit dem sich Unternehmen voll und ganz auf ein strategisches Ziel einschwören lassen: die vier Disziplinen der effektiven Umsetzung, kurz 4DX.

In het onderwijs ligt de focus terecht niet meer op kennisoverdracht alleen. De maatschappij vraagt van onze kinderen onder meer dat ze eigen verantwoordelijkheid nemen, probleemoplossend kunnen denken en goed kunnen samenwerken. Schoolprogramma’s zijn daar niet altijd voldoende op toegerust. The Leader in Me is een procesaanpak die staf, leerlingen en ouders betrekt bij het ontwikkelen van de vaardigheden die kinderen in de eenentwintigste eeuw nodig hebben. De aanpak is gebaseerd op de zeven eigenschappen van effectief leiderschap en wordt succesvol toegepast in landen over de hele wereld, ook in de Lage Landen. De zeven eigenschappen (gewoonten) van effectief leiderschap: 1 Wees proactief 2 Begin met het einde voor ogen 3 Belangrijke zaken eerst 4 Denk win-win 5 Eerst begrijpen, dan begrepen worden 6 Synergie 7 Houd de zaag scherp Stephen R. Covey was een internationaal vermaarde leiderschapsautoriteit, adviseur en leraar. Zijn bestseller De zeven eigenschappen van effectief leiderschap werd uitgeroepen tot het meest invloedrijke leiderschapsboek van de twintigste eeuw, met meer dan 25 miljoen verkochte exemplaren in 38 talen. Zijn zoon Sean Covey is executive vice president van FranklinCovey en leidt de divisie Education van het bedrijf. David K. Hatch is daar global director of strategic initiatives. Muriel Summers is sinds 1998 directrice van A.B. Combs in Raleigh, North Carolina. Ze heeft de eerste op leiderschap gebaseerde basisschool in de Verenigde Staten opgezet.

With all the homework, tests, gossip, and anxious parents, school can be a major source of stress. But why is school so important? Decision #1 explores how the way in which you handle your education can be the key to success or failure and discusses important topics, including: -How school affects your money-making potential -Finding motivation when you have none -The 7 secrets to getting good grades -Rising above a learning disability -Preparing and paying for college -Finding what you’re good at

The quality of the relationship you want to have with your mom and dad is a choice, and it’s one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. Decision #3 explores vital issues, including: -How to build an awesome relationship with your mom and dad -Disarming your parents in one line or less -Four magical expressions to use with your parents that work every time -Surviving a divorce -Coping with the “why can’t you be like your brother?” syndrome -What to do when your parents are really messed up and you have to raise them

Teens today face so much peer pressure to binge-drink, smoke, do drugs, and try any number of other things. And while it may seem like everyone else is doing it, addiction is a serious consequence. Decision #5 talks about: -The three brutal realities of addiction -The truth about alcohol, tobacco, meth, ecstasy, steroids, cocaine, prescriptions, inhalants, and more -This is not your parents’ marijuana! -Conquering an addiction -The drug of the twenty-first century

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best, but if your self-confidence (or lack of it) comes from how you stack up on the good-looks gauge, you’ve got serious problems. When all is said and done, learning to like yourself is a choice, and it comes from within. Decision #6 covers important concepts, like: -The one true mirror you should always look to -Why fixating on other people’s opinions of you is stupid -Character and competence: the foundation stones of healthy self-worth -What to do when you’re depressed and can’t pull out of it -Developing your unique talents and skills -Mining your own fields for diamonds

The choices you make on dating and sex are some of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, if not the most important. It’s crucial to be clear about what kind of people you’re going to date and what you’re going to do about sex. Decision #4 gets into stuff like: -Dating intelligently -So you don’t date...so what? -The problem with centering your life on your girlfriend or boyfriend -Spotting red flags in a relationship -What are STDs and why should I care? -Debunking the four great myths about teens and sex

Do you remember the last major initiative you watched die in your organization? Did it go down with a loud crash? Or was it slowly and quietly suffocated by other competing priorities? By the time it finally disappeared, it''s likely no one even noticed. What happened? The "whirlwind" of urgent activity required to keep things running day-to-day devoured all the time and energy you needed to invest in executing your strategy for tomorrow! The 4 Disciplines of Execution can change all that forever. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) is a simple, repeatable, and proven formula for executing on your most important strategic priorities in the midst of the whirlwind. By following The 4 Disciplines -- Focusing on the Wildly Important; Acting on Lead Measures; Keeping a Compelling Scoreboard; and Creating a Cadence of Accountability -- leaders can produce breakthrough results, even when executing the strategy requires a significant change in behavior from their teams. 4DX is not theory. It is a proven set of practices that have been tested and refined by hundreds of organizations and thousands of teams over many years.

Simply put, this is one book that no business leader can afford to miss

The Four Disciplines of Executionis about a simple, proven formula for reaching the goals you want to reach as a business or individual. In Covey''s experience, the thing that most undermines the ability to execute goals is what he calls the Whirlwind: those urgent tasks that must be done simply to keep an organization alive. As Covey shows, the only way to execute new, important goals is to separate those goals from the Whirlwind. The Four Disciplines allow leaders to create a strategy that requires a change in behaviour, since only by ensuring that everyone on the team understands the goal, knows what to do to reach it and knows whether progress is being made, will a leader produce consistent breakthrough results while sustaining the urgent work of the Whirlwind. The Four Disciplines of Executionare:1. Focus on the Wildly Important; 2. Act on the Lead Measures; 3. Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; 4. Create a Cadence of Accountability. For more than a decade FranklinCovey has been studying what it takes to achieve important goals, and in this book they share success stories from a wide range of companies that have implemented the Four Disciplines to result in greater profits, increased market share and improved customer satisfaction. This way of thinking is essential to any company that wants to not only weather, but thrive in this economy. This edition is specifically adapted for the South Asia market by Rajan Kaicker, CEO of FranklinCovey India, featuring anecdotes and advice to reflect this emerging market.

In The 6 Most Important Decisions You''ll Ever Make, Sean Covey, author of the international bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, gives teens the strong advice they need to make informed and wise decisions.Using real stories from teens around the world, Sean shows teens how to succeed in school, make good friends, get along with parents, wisely handle dating and sex issues, avoid or overcome addictions, build self-esteem, and much more.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution provides a simple, proven formula for achieving the goals that every individual or organization needs to reach. From Marriott to the U.S. Navy, Covey and his team have worked with more than 200,000 people in hundreds of organizations to improve performance, identifying and honing four secrets of perfect execution: Focus on the Wildly Important; Act on the Lead Measures; Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; and Create a Cadence of Accountability. By allowing teams to separate those urgent tasks that demand attention merely to keep a company alive - called the ''whirlwind'' - from new, ''wildly important'' goals that promise to break new ground, these disciplines empower leaders to accomplish what is by far the most difficult aspect of creating results: executing a strategy that requires a change in behavior. Simply put, this is a book that no business, however small or large, can afford to pass up.
