En una organización, es más fácil establecer una meta que realizarla. Muy a menudo establecemos metas solo para ver como estas se desintegran o se van perdiendo en las tareas de cada día. Cada cosa que necesitamos hacer para pasar el día en la organizacion se le llama actividad, y esta puede opacar las metas. En su libro Las 4 Disciplinas de Ejecución, Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, y Jim Huling proponen como incorporar cuatro disciplinas que ayudarán al equipo a realizar las metas a pesar del activismo.
Sean Covey was the starting quarterback for Brigham Young University during the 1987 and 1988 seasons. He was benched due to an ankle sprain. Following his college football career wrote a book called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. It is a book based on the principles of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, which was written by his father, Stephen R. Covey, but directed towards the life of a teen. A more recent book he has written is The 6 Most Important Decisions You Will Ever Make. The book directs the six big choices teenagers will make in their teenage years. The six decisions are: School, Friends, Parents, Dating and Sex, Addictions, and Self Worth.
