From bestselling author Sean Covey, a revolutionary operating system that helps educators achieve their most wildly important goals by focusing on what matters most, even amid the daily whirlwind of urgent demands—based on the groundbreaking 4 Disciplines of Execution framework.

In education, setting goals is easy—but achieving them is hard. It’s easy to understand why. Every day, educators face an overwhelming whirlwind of urgent tasks, making it nearly impossible to focus on long-term objectives. The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) offers a proven framework that has helped thousands of schools worldwide break through this barrier to achieve their most important goals.

This groundbreaking book shows educators at every level how to:
-Focus on the one or two goals that will make the biggest difference, using the principle of “less is more.”
-Identify and act on high-leverage activities that predictably drive results.
-Create visible, compelling score boarding that motivates students and staff.
-Build a culture of shared accountability that gets everyone engaged in the goal.

Through inspiring real-world examples—from improving graduation rates to dramatically boosting reading proficiency scores—the authors demonstrate how schools have used these four simple but powerful disciplines to achieve what once seemed impossible. Whether you’re a superintendent, principal, teacher, or support staff member, this book provides the complete framework you need to cut through the daily chaos and consistently deliver on your most critical educational priorities.

Based on timeless principles of human effectiveness and backed by years of successful implementation in schools globally, The 4 Disciplines of Execution for Educators is an essential operating system for any educator serious about turning their biggest goals into reality.
