Lead Measure Reflection: Answer all of the following questions for each lead measure you assigned yourself. Here is the link to the 4DX Google Forms
What were your group’s lead measures for last week, and what were the actual results?
Be specific: state each lead measure, the weekly target, and exactly what was completed (or not completed). What evidence do you have?
Which lead measure was completed most successfully, and what actions or conditions helped make that happen?
Identify the specific behaviors, planning, communication, or support that contributed to the success.
Which lead measure was not completed as planned? What got in the way, and what part of that was within your team’s control?
Avoid general excuses. Focus on controllable factors such as time management, unclear ownership, communication gaps, or competing priorities.
Based on last week’s results, what one specific change will your group make this week to improve follow through on your lead measures?
State a clear, actionable adjustment (for example, assigning a single owner, setting a mid-week check-in, or simplifying the target) and explain why it should increase the likelihood of hitting the lead measures.
We will show how focusing on a few influenceable actions (lead measures) helps a team achieve a larger community goal more reliably than only watching the final result.
I will show the difference between a lag measure and a lead measure using a clear example from a community project.
Model and connect it to a sample passion project - Hope for the Holidays
WIG (D1), Lead (D2), Scoreboard (D3)
Emphasize: You can control the lead measures every week. You cannot directly control the final numbers.
Revise and edit the Hope for the Holidays (1) WIG, (2) Lead Measures, and (3) Scoreboard overall and weekly
#18 - Understanding Lead Measures (complete all assignments and closures for each day on this one document, label each day and activity)
Write your current WIG (overall and week) at the top of a page.
List 3-6 possible weekly actions that could help you reach it.
Write one sentence explaining why each action is a lead measure.
Write one lead measure you identified today and explain in one sentence how you will track it and how tracking it will help your project more than only checking the final community impact number.
#17 - Daily Task
Create your lead measures for the week of October 12 - 18 by completing your personal 4DX Google Forms
We will show how to evaluate possible actions and select the few lead measures that are both influenceable by the team and predictive of project success.
I will show two clear lead measures for my group’s passion project and explain why each one predicts progress toward our WIG.
Model the two tests for a strong lead measure: Hope for the Holidays
Influenceable: Can our team directly control this action?
Predictive: If we do this consistently, is success on the WIG more likely?
Groups share one possible lead measure. Class applies the two tests together and offers one improvement suggestion (make it more specific or more predictive).
#18 - Understanding Lead Measures (complete all assignments and closures for each day on this one document, label each day and activity)
Finalize 2–3 lead measures for each person in your group. For each, write:
The exact action and weekly target
List all for the group and who is responsible for each one
A one-sentence prediction of how it moves the WIG.
Annotate one of your partners strongest lead measure and why it is...
Influenceable: Can our team directly control this action?
Predictive: If we do this consistently, is success on the WIG more likely?
#17 - Daily Task
Quote Analysis - Create a commentary (effect, connect, zoom in zoom out and/or significance) in response to the quotes below. Summarizing or explaining the quote will not be accepted.
Luke 12:48 - “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity) - “Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature.”
Charles Spurgeon - “Responsibility is measured by ability.”
We will show how a simple, visible scoreboard that tracks lead measures keeps a team focused and motivated on the actions that drive community impact.
I will show a draft scoreboard for my group that clearly displays our lead measures and current progress.
Show two scoreboard examples: one cluttered and hard to read, one simple and compelling (large numbers, clear targets, updated regularly). Model creating a basic digital or paper scoreboard for a sample project that tracks two lead measures plus the lag measure. Explain that the scoreboard should answer at a glance: “Are we winning?”
As a class, design one simple scoreboard layout on the board. Decide what information must be visible (lead measure targets, this week’s actual, lag measure progress) and what can be left off.
#18 - Understanding Lead Measures (complete all assignments and closures for each day on this one document, label each day and activity)
Create a scoreboard for your group’s lead measures (digital preferred: Google Sheet, Canva, or shared doc; paper acceptable). Include clear weekly targets and a place to record actual results. Add a short written explanation of how the visual will help your team stay focused on goal-relevant activities.
This will be shared with all peole involved in Senior Project: district and campus administration, mentors, and students.
Gallery walk or quick peer feedback: Each group views one other scoreboard and leaves one sticky-note suggestion for clarity or usefulness.

We will show how a short weekly accountability conversation turns lead measures into consistent team behavior that advances the community project.
I will show a specific weekly commitment based on my group’s lead measures and explain how I will follow through.
Model a 5–7 minute WIG session structure: Hope for the Holidays
Review the scoreboard (what happened last week).
Celebrate any wins on the lead measures.
Each person states one specific commitment for the coming week tied to a lead measure.
Keep it short and focused.
Run a short practice WIG session with one volunteer group while the class observes. Debrief what made the conversation useful.
#18 - Understanding Lead Measures (complete all assignments and closures for each day on this one document, label each day and activity)
In your senior project groups, hold your first official 5-10 minute WIG session which will be held in front of the class. Each member states one clear weekly commitment linked to a lead measure. Record the commitments and update (or plan to update) the scoreboard.
Write a brief reflection: How will this weekly rhythm help us complete events and serve the community more effectively than only checking progress at the end?
