5 point action plan for a successful 4th quarter…
1 It’s not over till the fat lady sings
We all want to end the year with the satisfaction that we fought all the way! There are still 10 working weeks left until year end. In the All Ireland Final, Dublin scored a goal and a point in the last 5 minutes to win the match. Fight right to the end – make each day count.
2 Activate the captain in you
Whether you’ve had a good or bad year so far, become the captain and take control of the rest of the year. Write down your year end goals today – what doesn’t get written, doesn’t get done. Write your quick and easy plan – what you need to do to achieve your year end goals – today.
3 Activate your team
Does your team know what you need them to deliver? Meet them today and tell them. Motivate and train them if they need it. Give them constant feedback on their progress. Acknowledge and celebrate their wins.
4 Thank your customers
Let them know that you care about their custom. If they bought before and had a good experience – they will buy again.
5 We all run better with a partner
Get a ‘buddy’ you trust to be your Chairman, measuring progress against your plan for the last 10 weeks.
