Leadership And Accountability
Article | Accountability Insights
Great leaders have learned, often through trial and error, that the key to successfully applying leadership to accountability lies in Creating A Culture Of Accountability. We define a Culture Of Accountability as follows: “a workplace culture where people take accountability to think and act in the manner necessary to achieve results.” Leaders who create such cultures are able to deliver exceptional results year after year.
Here’s how one leader from a large architectural firm described the impact of Creating A Culture Of Accountability in his organization: “We now have a much greater awareness of the experiences we create for each other and how those experiences shape our beliefs, drive our actions, and produce the organization’s results.” People throughout the organization are now asking, “What else can I do?” to achieve their organization’s Key Results. Substantial improvements in employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and profitability occurred within the first year after deciding to focus on Creating A Culture Of Accountability. The firm is now sustaining its commitment and improving its ability to take personal accountability and hold others accountable in positive, principled ways going forward.
