Accountability: How to Show It, Promote It & Make It Part of Your Culture
What is preventing your organization from achieving the results you want? Time? Talent? Resources? If that's the case, perhaps this program is not for you. However, if you have ever heard anyone in your organization say, "No one wants to take responsibility for anything," this session is for you.
The difference between excellence and mediocrity in business comes down to one simple intangible: personal and organizational accountability to deliver results that matter. Randy Pennington brings more than 20 years of hand-on experience consulting with and educating companies and leaders on how to be more accountable and build a culture of accountability. Leaders at every level will learn to avoid behaviors that destroy accountability; promote accountability using specific action steps; implement a four-step process for making accountability "just the way things are done around here"; and use six ideas for creating a partnership approach to confronting performance and holding people accountable for results.
