5 Disciplines Training
The 5 Disciplines will serve as the foundational framework from which your senior leadership team builds the organization’s non-negotiable objectives.
Great companies are not great via happenstance; they have become great through hard work, discipline, and a consistent bedrock encompassing the core areas that they have identified need constant strategic thinking and execution planning. For the mid-market organizations and corporations we work with – The 5 Disciplines are adopted as that consistent bedrock. The 5 Disciplines are interconnected principles that, in practice, will:
- ensure alignment of senior leadership regarding top company objectives and priorities
- encourage exponential company growth when given equal focus and attention
- ensure your organization is always ‘serving’ your 5 key constituents
- allow progress towards becoming a sustainable, predictable, stable, and consistent company with an emotional connection to your customers, community, and your team
