Why Do You Need Accountability Training?

We often hear the question, “How much can our people get from just reading the book?” In our case, the book is actually three books—The Oz Principle, Change the Culture, Change the Game and How Did That Happen?—each of which corresponds to one of our Three Tracks To Creating Greater Accountability. Here are some of the things we typically say to prospective clients and other interested parties in response to such questions:

The books create understanding; the training creates movement.
The books capture common sense; the training turns commons sense into common practice.
The books help you talk about accountability; the training helps you do something about it.
The books were not written as training manuals. 80% of the training is not in the books. The training is a business solution to drive results.
If you apply the books the wrong way, you will inevitably experience one or more of the three Accountability Paradoxes: Success, Consequences, and Shared Accountability.
And, of course, there are all the obvious IP issues when attempting to use the books as training.

Finally, our books are the beginning, not the ending. When it comes to Creating A Culture Of Accountability in an organization, it’s not about what’s in our books, it’s about what’s in your peoples’ hearts and minds—our training is designed and delivered to bring hearts and minds to life. If speed of change is what you want, Accountability Training is what you need.
