• Create a system of accountability.

When it’s crystal clear who is responsible for each goal and whether progress is being made, it’s easier to delegate whole pieces of the business and get them off your plate. Accountability is also a tool to encourage team members to stay focused on the work that provides the most value to the plan.

• Define a dashboard.

Tracking the right metrics is an important part of making progress. With the right metrics, you and your team will have an at-a-glance overview of the health of the business that predicts positive movement. Metrics also hold team members accountable to their contribution to the forward momentum towards the vision.

• Put the right people in the right seats.

Build and organize your team to support the goals of the business and keep the company operational from day to day.
