2012 was the best year in the firm's history. Strategic Discipline's focus on priorities, meetings and metrics made a significant the difference in our ability to achieve our targets. Scott Ford, Cornerstone Wealth Management Group ~ Hagerstown, MD The difference we've seen compared to other business development processes within a very short period of time, in some cases within days or even hours is you end up with actual work product, deliverable plans and agendas that help. Scott Bennett, Nations Financial Group ~ Cedar Rapids, IA Doug's Four Decisions Workshop has allowed our company
to focus on our top priorities for the year. With the use of the 1 page
strategic plan, company and individual dashboards we are better able to
track performance and measure results. For the first time we have a clear
company goal with everyone working towards that common goal. We are
extremely excited to continue working with Doug in the future. Greg Mercurio ~ IFTI Independent Floor Testing & Inspection, Inc, Concord, CA Daily Huddles are by far the best thing we've learned. Lots of our operations decisions have been made through the use of the daily huddle process. Having four daily huddles each day is a pain, yet it's the most productive and best thing that's happened to me as a manager. Burges Kerawalla ~ Autopia Car Wash, Fremont, CA Just wanted to let you know our first Supper Huddle
was a huge success!! Your help certainly was beneficial in its success!!
Thanks again for all of your help!!!. Tyna, Charge Team ~ JPMA In 2013, in addition to growing sales dollars and market share, we cut our return beer rate (ROR) by over 35%. Nearly $600,000 less beer was double handled and brought back to the warehouse by your efforts. This improvement drove the revenue and gross margin numbers up, as well as helped considerably in reducing warehouse, merchandising, and delivery costs.

Are there any implications your business can learn from the Egyptian Revolution? Multipliers co author Greg McKeown predicts events like this and the Libyan revolution may foreshadow undercurrents that will impact your business. As we’ve noted in this blog before the two most critical elements of leadership are the ability to predict and delegate. Just like Scrooge in Dickens Christmas Carol these events may foresee what’s ahead for business.

If your business and specifically your people are producing the wrong outcomes it’s very important that you understand this. Every company is getting the performance it should be because it’s reinforcing that performance with what it is currently doing. If you’re not happy with what you’re getting you need to put consequences in place that stop these outcomes and then put new consequences in place to positively reinforce the new outcome you want. The bad news is you’re reinforcing the wrong things or you wouldn’t be getting that performance. The good news is you can change it with some diligence.
