Accountability can be difficult to find in the workplace, but it is one of the most important characteristics of high-performing teams and employees. In contrast, a lack of accountability can prevent businesses and individuals from reaching their full potential.
As a manager, it's up to you to make sure your team knows what they are supposed to do and that they have what they need to get the job done. So, you might think that being accountable means you're the one who gets blamed when things go wrong. In fact, accountability is about helping people to take responsibility for their obligations. Accountability, done effectively, is a skill you can develop just like any other skill, and while it is not a difficult skill to acquire and hone, it does require a high degree of conscious effort. When you do it right, you'll also find it the fastest way to improve morale.
Whether you’re a first-time manager or a seasoned manager, holding people accountable can be frustrating and bring out the worst of emotions. If you’re like most managers, you’ve tried courteous reminders and polite conversations. And while that works with many people, the truth is, it only takes one person to hold up the project and make life miserable for you and everyone else!
Have you ever wondered how to make people accountable?
By attending this session, you will be able to understand more fully that there's really no such thing as “making” people take ownership. But there are some things you can do that will help foster accountability. This webinar gives you the tools to hold your employees accountable and create a positive workplace and help you to meet your goals.
