Accountability is the single most powerful, most desired, yet least understood characteristic of a high performance culture. It’s a personal, non-negotiable choice about how to live one’s life. It’s a choice that makes all the difference.
The problem is, “holding people accountable” is counterproductive, yet without accountability, time and energy is spent generating excuses about why something did or did not happen.
While it’s human nature to blame other people or circumstances for our problems, individuals and organizations pay a high price for this behavior. Strategies adopted are half-hearted, safe, passive and diluted. Worse yet, sometimes the result is no action at all.
We believe that our context (beliefs, attitudes, opinions, “truths”) determines how we experience the content of our lives. This workshop is designed to help participants recognize the cost of blaming, protecting, defending and playing it safe. In contrast, the advantages of taking responsibility for our lives, relationships, challenges and results become clear. You will develop a new context about accountability, one in which you welcome responsibility, and gain the skill set to build a culture of accountability.
