The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey and Jim Huling

This book is written for organisations and leaders to help achieve rapid behaviour changing results amongst their teams and employees. The principles and strategies that have been tested and proven to work, can be directly applied to our own lives.

As we are our greatest leader in life, I feel that you will be able to adapt these principles to help you become a master at execution. The four principles that are discussed in this book are: Focusing on the wildly important; Acting on lead measures; Keeping a compelling scoreboard; and Creating a cadence of accountability.

Today I will keep away from the positives of reading and the WHY and remain on purpose. The goal today is to bring you 10 of my favourite books from the year just passed.

It is freaking hard to pick the top 10 considering I have read about 50 books this year. Not all have made it to be featured on The Hidden Why. In all honesty many I didn’t finish entirely. The ones that I do feature I genuinely love and reflect on to inspire others to read.
