Accountability has never been more important than right now in business. Many organizations’ employees continue to work from home – surrounded by distractions that a physical office doesn’t allow. That’s why we want to let you know about our sister company, ResourcefulManager’s Accountability Blueprint. Here’s a snapshot of what’s covered: Accountability should be easy. Employees. Peers. Upper management ... If everyone just said what they mean, mean what they say – and did their job well, everything would be peachy, right? Unfortunately, you know that picture is far from reality. Instead, you go to work and experience a frustrating combination of poor communication, missed deadlines, finger-pointing, and complacency (among other telltale signs of accountability problems). The good news: accountability can be developed, and "The Accountable Workforce" Blueprint gives you a proven success plan to do it – step by step. Inside the Blueprint: 11-Step Accountability Framework How to identify accountability gaps – and what to do when you spot them Motivation comes in two broad types (no, it's not intrinsic & extrinsic) – how to use the "progress principle" to tap into the type that matters most, and that you can control The fine line between consequences and punishment when expectations aren't met and weak excuses are swirling 10 ways to focus on and find solutions when you feel the urge to pass blame For hands-on managers: Use the Ready, Go, Review method to facilitate accountability and provide ongoing feedback without going overboard Expectations & Goals Done Right To Lift Performance Why SMART goals should die and be replaced with BHAGs (but only for companies – NOT individual employees, they need something completely different to achieve results) Discover a better approach than simple goal-setting that increases employee buy-in, accountability, follow-through and results – backed by behavioral psychology research 3 real-life case studies of how companies created a culture of accountability The root cause that explains why 50% of employees have no clue what is expected of them at work, according to Gallup – and how you can ensure your employees are on the good half of this equation |
