The Need for Accountability
The “prism” of accountability encompasses employee, management, and organization. It is a delicate ecosystem. If one of the accountability “partners” fail, the entire system struggles.
What is accountability, in all its forms?
- Accountability: Taking action consistent with your desired results.
- Organizational Accountability: A working environment where people can count on each other to keep commitments and agreements.
- Personal Accountability: The ability, willingness and courage to renew attitude and behavior, to achieve desired results.
- Personal Commitment. There has been an increasing amount of empowerment in the workplace. Accountability is the other side of that equation. One can only be as empowered as one is accountable.
- Personal Ownership. Issues management face are more complex today. One issue is an increasing sense of “entitlement” and lack of personal ownership. Learn how to curb this cycle.
