Every day, depending on the area you live in, you see this universal symbol telling you when to stop or go. As part of Strategic Discipline we expect our clients to provide metrics for their company, team and individual performance. It’s a part of the weekly meeting agenda. That might seem sufficient to provide accountability, yet when conducting meetings we feel it’s important to dispense with the numbers as quickly as possible in order to get to the meatier topics that can help the business build momentum. The metrics need to communicate quickly whether success is being achieved or there’s work to be done.

On vacation last week my family and I visited the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola. The Blue Angels perform a practice session every Tuesday and Wednesday at the airfield. If you’ve never seen the Blue Angels perform I highly recommend it.
I’d seen them perform before when I was very young. My father was a pilot. He would take us to many air shows and I’d seen the Blue Angels as a child, although I don’t recall being as impressed or amazed at their precision and discipline as I was this time. The show brought back memories of my dad, and made me realize the discipline lessons he taught me just by his piloting the small Cessna 172 airplane he owned.
