Daily LEADERSHIP Tip / Did Not Check

Day 18
The key discipline of the 3 Strands system is a daily review your 3 Strands for accountability, and if necessary, to readjust your focus to achieve what is truly most important each week.

How did you do last week?

I did not do very well.  Typically I'm pretty good at reviewing my 3 Strands daily, but not last week.  Although I had good intentions, each time I planned to review my 3 Strands something distracted me.  "Good intentions" do not achieve great accomplishments, although they may play a supporting role.

The result is I fully completed one strand and only part of my two other strands for the week.  If a "cord of three strands is not easily broken," then the climbing rope I am using to scale my mountain was pretty frayed last week.

My clients also fail to achieve their key objectives in weeks where they do not hold themselves accountable to focusing on their 3 Strands on a daily basis.

Most weekly disciplines require daily work to be successful.  A similar way your annual goals are not accomplished just once a year, but are achieved through a process of activities during the time period of the goal.

In brief, if you have not already done so, review your 3 Strands of last week.  Hold yourself accountable- Did you complete each one with excellence?  If not, then what are you going to do this week to better focus on what's truly most important?

After you hold yourself accountable to last week's 3 Strands, then define your 3 Strands for this week.
