March Monthly Program

                Creating a Culture of Accountability

At this time of year, many of us are thinking about New Year’s
resolutions, but goals - whether personal or professional - cannot
be attained without accountability.

Everyone talks about it, leaders want it, employees are often afraid
of it, shareholders demand it, and stakeholders insist on it. But
exactly what is accountability, and how do you get people to take
it?

When we ask Who is Accountable for that? how do we prevent
people from ducking and hiding?

If accountability is not working in your organization, every effort
toward performance improvement will be inefficient and ineffective.
The ability to execute and deliver results is directly tied to the
accountability attitudes, practices, and systems in place in an
organization.

Partners In Leadership’s proven approach is based on the
bestselling book, The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through
Individual and Organizational Accountability.

In this session, you will learn:

• Knowing your key results is critical to creating a culture
  of accountability
• Your current culture impacts your key results
• Operating above the line vs. below the line impacts
  your key results
• 16 best practices of organizations that demonstrate high
  levels of accountability
