rockefeller habits checklist

We have 3 weeks until Q3 kicks off! Fast growing and profitable companies known as Gazelles use a checklist each quarter to make sure they are doing the right things with the right people. Checklists are simple and can make a dramatic impact quickly. In facilitating company off site quarterly meetings for many years, this checklist is not just the beginning to a very productive retreat for your company, but it also lays the groundwork to keep all the boxes checked year round. I have provided a snap shot and a link to a downloadable PDF for your company.

One tip to consider…  If you own or run the company, print this out and see how many you can check off, then see how many some of your employees can check it off. This will test your internal communications in seconds.

The top growth companies in the world are using the following check list to plan, organize and evaluate their quarterly goals as well as where they are on their way from good to great. Here it is for the last quarter of the year or if you are like many, planning the first quarter of 2009.

Having focus and clarity in your business can help you achieve new heights.  Here is a quote from Verne Harnish:

Virtual Technology Corporation exceeded their sales goal by $1.4 million; Dial One Printing added five points to their gross margin; Capital Recovery Group increased sales on a new service offering by 2000%; and ICC/Decision Services saved 160 hrs per week of work among fourteen employees allowing them to take on additional business without adding to headcount.

You have an opportunity to have the same, remarkable outcome as the companies above, by implementing a theme in your company.  What would your theme focus on? Overtime? Retention? Morale? Check out the checklist to see how you’re company is doing.  If you need help, call us!

How are you doing with a checklist for your company?  Take a look and send us the number of boxes you are able to check off.

If pilots at Continental Airlines didn’t use checklists, people could die!  They use them and so should you.  Use this tool quarterly.  Need help?  We are certified coaches and help companies nationally to dominate their market.

"No one has achieved peak performance without a coach."
