Hey there,
If you're preparing for your first strategy session or refreshing an existing process, execution should be a top priority. The Rock Habits Checklist by Verne Harnish is a practical tool designed to help your team align on priorities and maintain focus on growth.
Even companies with strong leadership teams revisit these habits regularly to refine their approach. Mastery takes time, but the key is ongoing improvement and ensuring every strategy session moves you closer to your goals.
Here’s how to make the most of the Rock Habits Checklist for your upcoming session:
1. Take the Alignment Company Survey
Send this to everyone in the company who is in Align about a week before your planning day. Give them 48 hours to complete it, and be sure to remind your team—this is a critical first step in identifying where your business stands.
2. Evaluate the Results
Look for trends: Which habits are your strong suits? Which ones need attention? Bring these insights into your leadership discussions to fuel meaningful conversations and set the stage for strategy day.
3. Present the Data on Strategy Day
Share the survey results with your team to create buy-in. Once everyone’s aligned, ask each person to create a personal priority that contributes to the company’s top focus areas. Don’t forget to leverage the Priority AI Coach to guide this process.
This structured approach will lead to greater focus and clarity across your team—keeping your company on track for scalable growth.
