Fourth Discipline of Execution
"One liter per day- easy"- my observation
A few blog posts ago I talked about making a change and used the idea of drinking one liter of water as a challenge. I even explained the three components needed for the change to take place.
So what happened? I have not been consistent. Mentally I know that it is a good thing to do. I have seen people dehydrated and have some emotional attachment to the issue. However, I could not find a way to set myself up on the path to success.
The results have been hit or miss. Some days I make it and it is easy but other days I get busy and forget to keep on the path.
I need to refocus. I will start recording the amount of water I drink as a way to remind myself. Like the old adage says, "If it worth doing, it is worth recording." But I believe that it is more than that. I never set up a system where I was held accountable by someone.
That brings up to the fourth discipline of execution. So far we have a goal that has been set up, and we have leading and lagging indicators, and we have to made sure you have the right lever. Last discipline is to make it a team effort by having weekly meetings with the team and review what you have done towards the leading indicators and what you will do next week.
I need to find a water buddy...
Today's question is:
"Do you find someone to be your buddy during a change effort?"
