PURPOSE
Start with why. Set a compelling mission, clear visions, and authentic values. Then develop a winning strategy.
PLAYBOOKS
Document and optimize your core processes from top to bottom, both internal and customer-facing.
PERFORMANCE
Measure what matters, then manage it. Plan and track key goals on an annual, quarterly, and weekly cadence.
PROFIT
Profit comes as a result of mastering the other Principles, and fuels growth in a virtuous cycle.
It can feel overwhelming.

It helps you to build a foundation of A-players that live your core values, create winning playbooks, and drive clarity and alignment around your purpose and goals. If I could change one thing, I would have started working with Pinnacle earlier.
