Manage your meetings by setting agendas, adding specific indicators to focus on, and keeping minutes on what was discussed. Celebrate any successes along the way!
By defining your future success, the Success Cycle is where "the rubber meets the road." Your chosen indicators are ready for your team's daily application.
Expect success by focusing on quality over quantity with each indicator. How well is your team is applying a specific indicator?
