How do you use scheduled Just Checking In calls between quarterly milestones to catch execution breakdowns before they derail our quarter?

Question

Around the midpoint of every quarter, typically around day 45 between our full-day sessions, we schedule a focused thirty-minute Just Checking In call. This call is not a consulting presentation or a general chit-chat. It is a structured operational pulse check with the Integrator and Visionary designed to identify red flags before they destroy your quarterly commitments.

During this call, we review your current Rock status. If a Rock is marked off track, we verify whether your team has already IDSed the issue in your weekly Level 10 Meeting™ or if it is being ignored. We review your Scorecard trends to confirm that numbers are not drifting into the red without corrective action.

We also evaluate the team dynamic to ensure that personnel friction or leadership resistance is not building up behind the scenes. If your weekly Level 10 Meetings are losing discipline or dragging past 90 minutes, we address the root cause immediately so you can reset the rhythm.

Catching these breakdowns at the six-week mark gives your leadership team six critical weeks to recover, solve issues, and hit your numbers before walking into our next quarterly session. It ensures that session days remain forward-looking planning milestones rather than clean-up operations for neglected quarters.
