Key Takeaways:
- Traditional goal-setting frameworks can prove unhelpful and may leave teams feeling discouraged when they miss certain goals.
- “Making Big Happen” focuses on hitting a few critical goals and spending the rest of the quarter relentlessly focused on leading activities that move the needle on those goals.
- The process involves picking 3 HOTs (Highly Outrageous Targets), determining the critical leading activities to achieve these goals, breaking down the activities into smaller parts, and measuring results at the end of the quarter.
- Implementing this framework can lead to improved revenue, increased control, and more predictable performance.
- Continuously calibrating and refining the leading activities can help drive growth and achieve desired outcomes.
