“If you want high-focus, high performance team members, they must have something wildly important to focus on.”

~Chris McChesney, The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals

The Influencer Strategy and the 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) both offer practical ways to create real, lasting change in an organization.  When used together, they complement each other really well.  For example, the vital behaviors from the Influencer work directly support the lead measures in 4DX.

Motivation also gets a boost from both sides.  The tools from the Influencer Strategy and the simple and compelling visual scoreboard from 4DX help keep people engaged and moving in the right direction.

Both 4DX and the Five Stages of Change address both the process and human dynamics behind successful transformation.  4DX helps teams get clear on what the goal is and how to actually reach it with focused, actionable steps.  At the same time, the Influencer Strategy helps pinpoint who you need to influence and the best ways to do it.

Of course, making change happen is never easy!   Combining these two approaches takes time and effort but it provides a clear and powerful roadmap that increases your success rate.
