You facilitate our quarterly sessions, but you are not there on Mondays to watch us execute. What specific mechanism or tool do we use between our sessions with you to ensure our leadership team does not slide back into old, loose habits once the high of the session day wears off?

Question

The magic of this process does not happen on the session day; it happens in the eighty-nine days between our sessions. To prevent your team from sliding back into old, undisciplined habits, we rely heavily on the weekly Level 10 Meeting. This meeting is your operational heartbeat. It is a highly structured, ninety-minute weekly meeting that forces your team to stay focused on your quarterly Rocks and key metrics.

If your Level 10 Meetings are run loosely, your execution will fail. To prevent this, we review your meeting health objectively. You will use a standard rating system at the end of every weekly meeting, grading your performance on a scale of one to ten. If your average score drops below an eight, it is an immediate warning sign that the team is losing discipline.

Additionally, we implement the concept of the Strategic Pause between sessions. This is a deliberate practice where leaders step back from the daily grind to review their scorecard and Rock progress before the weekly meeting. By tracking your numbers weekly on your scorecard, you receive immediate, objective feedback on your performance. You cannot hide from a red metric on a scorecard, which keeps everyone accountable without me needing to micromanage your team.
