VIA Character Strengths, Made Practical - The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX)
The 4 Disciplines of Execution (McChesney, Covey & Huling) is an organizational strategy framework built around four practices: focus on a wildly important goal, act on lead measures, keep a compelling scoreboard, and create a cadence of accountability. Evidence is primarily organizational case studies and observational data; controlled trials on the framework as a whole are limited, but the individual components (implementation intentions, feedback loops, social accountability) have broader research support.
