Amazon Description:
Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a 12-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.
- Explains how to leverage the power of a 12-week year to drive improved results in any area of your life
- Offers a how-to book for both individuals and organizations seeking to improve their execution
One of the parts of this book I like best is the Weekly Accountability Meeting (WAM). This is a scheduled gathering where individuals or teams come together to review progress, set goals, and hold each other accountable. We have found that Zoom is perfect for this.
The purpose of a WAM is to provide a structured platform for discussing achievements, challenges, and action plans for the week ahead. Participants typically share updates on their tasks, projects, or personal goals, highlighting what they have accomplished and any obstacles they may have encountered. WAMs foster a sense of responsibility and commitment, as participants are encouraged to support and motivate one another. By regularly discussing progress and sharing goals, WAMs help individuals stay focused, track their performance, and make necessary adjustments to achieve desired outcomes.
--I'll talk about my use of the 12-Week-Year in a future post!
