In 12 weeks, there just isn't enough time to get complacent, and urgency increases and intensifies. The 12 Week Year creates focus and clarity on what matters most and a sense of urgency to do it now. In the end more of the important stuff gets done and the impact on results is profound.

  • Explains how to leverage the power of a 12 week year to drive improved results in any area of your life
  • Offers a how-to book for both individuals and organizations seeking to improve their execution effectiveness
  • Authors are leading experts on execution and implementation

Turn your organization's idea of a year on its head, and speed your journey to success.

The 12 Week Year title treatment graphic

How is it that some people seem to accomplish so much while the vast majority of people never accomplish what they're capable of?

If you could fully tap your potential, what might be different for you?

How would your life change if each and every day you performed up to your full potential?

What would be different six months, three years, and five years down the road if each day you were at your best?

That set of questions, that core concept, is what the past several years have been about for us. For years, we have been helping our clients execute more effectively. We work with individuals, teams, and corporations to make plans to help them achieve their goals. Our quest has been to unlock the secret to helping individuals and organizations perform at their best and live the life they are truly capable of.

In The 12 Week Year, we will show you how to perform at your best and achieve the things in life that matter most to you through effective execution. Most of the stuff that we'll discuss, you already know, but there is a big difference between knowing and doing. We will teach you how to consistently take action on the things that will shape your success.

The concepts in this book have been developed and proven in the field through our ongoing execution work with clients. We've included only what works, and have eliminated the rest. The final product is a concise but powerful book that delivers. While we do hope the book is thought-provoking, it's more important to us that it inspires you to action.

―Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington

Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

A guide to creating results through focus, commitment, and accountability

The 12 Week Year is a process forged in the field of sports, used by world-class athletes and transformed for business and everyday life by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington.

This is not a book of theory. The 12 Week Year has been vetted by thousands of clients and hundreds of companies, and is backed by years of real life experience. In this groundbreaking book, the authors unlock the simple secret to help you accomplish more.

What differentiates truly great performers and organizations from mediocre ones is an ability to effectively execute on what they know. There is a gap for most of us between what we know we should do, and what we are actually willing to do. This knowing-doing gap is what keeps most people and most companies from accomplishing what they are capable of.

The 12 Week Year incorporates the proven disciplines and principles of effective execution into the context of 12-week execution cycles. In the book, you'll discover how to develop clarity and focus on what matters most and a healthy sense of urgency to get it done. You'll learn how to:

  • Take back control of your day
  • Increase your income
  • Balance the priorities in your life
  • Lower your stress
  • Accomplish your goals in record time

The 12 Week Year is a how-to book for both individuals and organizations that would like to accomplish more in the next 12 weeks than others will in the next 12 months. Join the thousands who are already experiencing the benefits of the 12 Week Year. Get this book and turn the idea of a year on its head, and speed your journey to success. Leverage the power of The 12 Week Year to drive improved results in any area of your life.

From the Back Cover

Praise for THE 12 WEEK YEAR

"This book takes all the core business principles I believe are so valuable--discipline, consistency, focus, intensity, ownership, accountability, and planning--and puts them together in a straightforward system that actually works. What more can you ask for?"
--MATTHEW E. WINTER, President, Allstate Auto, Home and Agencies

"The 12 Week Year is a book you can open to any chapter and find valuable insights and practical actions you can put into practice today. Read it; study it; apply it!"
--TOM IZZO, Head Coach, Michigan State University men's basketball team

"Brian Moran and Michael Lennington have persuaded me that focusing on shorter time periods--four 'year ends' instead of one--brings clarity and urgency to individuals and teams. I've already drawn up my own 12-week plan. Exciting!"
--SUSAN SCOTT, author of Fierce Conversations and Fierce Leadership

"If you are an executive or entrepreneur and you are serious about creating a high-performance culture that executes well, then read this book and have your team read it too."
--JOHN VACCARO, Senior Vice President, MassMutual Financial Group

"The 12 Week Year is a powerful system for achieving extraordinary results both professionally and personally. It's a simple yet proven approach to creating breakthrough results. If you're committed to making lasting changes, this is a must-read!"
--TOM BURNS, Chief Distribution Officer, Allianz

Absolutely enjoyed this book. I am commencing with my 12 Week Plan. My Vision is clear. My goals are set. Execution wins the plan.
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2023
I wish I read this earlier. Great and very practical. All I can say is that I wish I had read this book earlier than just last week. The authors do not pull punches in delivering what you need to hear to execute. I really like the section on coaching, where one is coached based on the week of one is one. The book is well laid out and planned. I will suggest this to my friends. It's a good book to read as one plans for the new year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente para organizarte y alcanzar tus metas
Reviewed in Spain on February 9, 2023
Leí esté libro al final de año y empecé enero con el pie derecho. Me encantó cómo está estructurado, primero te explica toda la teoría y después te va llevando por cómo hacerlo en la práctica, te explica cómo organizarte paso a paso.
Aprendí muchas cosas que me están sirviendo para el día a día, sobre todo conceptos y tips que me ayudan, por si me desanimó ya sé cómo volver al camino trazado.
Estoy replicando el sistema con otros proyectos, así que puedo decir que lo uso para lo personal y lo profesional.
Si buscas ser más eficiente, mejorar habilidades, cambiar hábitos y sentirte más motivada o motivado, ¡este libro te va a ayudar!
