Don't Hold People Accountable, Develop Accountable People
Dan Moss, Senior Facilitator, The Arbinger Institute
When it comes to performance management, 95% of employees are dissatisfied with their company’s performance evaluation process, and 90% believe that it doesn’t provide accurate information. With the overwhelming majority being so dissatisfied, it’s easy to see why accountability is an issue in today’s workforce. It’s not just employees that are dissatisfied with performance management. Research shows that executives' single most challenging responsibility is holding people accountable. In this presentation, participants will learn an accountability model that employees and managers can utilize.
- Understand the major problem underlying leadership attempts to hold people accountable.
- Become equipped with a simple and powerful self-accountability model that can be applied immediately.
- Explore effective practices that enable leaders to finally develop the self-accountable employees their organization needs.
- Set the groundwork for further organizational change.
