Most of us are used to annual planning over 12-month cycles. The 12 Week Year by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington explains why you should compress your planning and execution into 12-week cycles, and how you can implement this system to improve your results by at least 4x.
What To Discuss On Your First 2 Calls with your new Accountability Partner
On your first call:
- Get to know them
- Share your “Back From 2024’s” with one another
- Share your successes from the last quarter
- Share what you’ve learned over the last quarter and how you will be applying it to the next 3-year plan
- Finally, schedule your next weekly call
After your first call:
- Work on your quarterly “12 Week Year Planning”
Resources:
On your second call:
- Send your Accountability Partner a copy of your “12 Week Year” plan.
- Present your Q4 “12 Week Year” plan to one another.
- Collaborate on ways to make your next “12 Week Year” a success.
- Let each other know how you are best motivated, what things you are having trouble with, and how to best help you knock this next quarter out of the park.
- Finally, your Accountability Partner will challenge you, congratulate you, and provide feedback and suggestions.
- Schedule all of your WAM (Weekly Accountability Meetings) in advance for the entire quarter together.
Reminders:
- The WAM (Weekly Accountability Meetings) is used to confront breakdowns, recognize progress, create focus, and encourage action.
- The WAM agenda (found HERE) format is pretty straightforward: are you on track, ahead of where you should be at this point, or behind?
You and your new Accountability Partner are going to do great things together!
