The guide to shortening your execution cycle down from one year to twelve weeks
Most organizations and individuals work in the context of annual goals and plans; a twelve-month execution cycle. Instead, The 12 Week Year avoids the pitfalls and low productivity of annualized thinking. This book redefines your "year" to be 12 weeks long. 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

From the Publisher
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.
