Ministry Execution
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. 4DX includes:
- Discipline #1 – Focus on the wildly important
- Discipline #2 – Act on the lead measure.
- Discipline #3 – Create a compelling scoreboard.
- Discipline #4 – Create a cadence of accountability.
Weekly LAUNCH Meetings
Each ministry area or department can schedule weekly LAUNCH meetings to help create a cadence of accountability. Typical meetings share a few basic requirements:
- As early in the week as possible
- No more than 15 minutes
- Stand up and keep it short
- Quick reports from everyone
Here’s the agenda:
- Pray for each other.
- What are the 1-3 most important things I can do this week to impact the scoreboard?
- Report on last week’s commitments.
- Review and update the scoreboard.
- Make commitments for next week.
