Highly Accountable Leadership Teams
Article | Accountability Insights
Highly accountable leadership teams are superb at developing vision and formulating strategy in ways that move their organizations boldly forward. How? They clearly define and constantly communicate the key results their organizations must achieve—results that tangibly demonstrate successful execution of the organization’s strategy and real movement toward realization of the organization’s vision.
Once the desired key results are clearly defined, highly accountable leadership teams focus on building greater accountability and alignment throughout the organization to ensure ongoing achievement of the desired results. They fully understand that it makes little sense to initiate any accountability or culture (alignment) building process unless they’re doing it to improve the organization’s capability to deliver the desired results. The most compelling reason to work on an organization’s accountability and culture (alignment) is to produce greater results. Ultimately, an organization’s culture produces its results, and greater accountability accelerates culture change.
