Getting Results Through a Culture of Accountability

Leaders need to be front and center to create a corporate culture aligned with the organization’s strategic goals. The culture is usually defined by the collective behavior of all employees and it is also formed by the values, visions, norms, working language, systems, and beliefs of the organization. To drive performance and achieve strategic business goals, it is essential that leaders be able to create effective culture change and greater accountability at every level of the organization.

Clear goals, observable behaviors that reinforce company values and candid feedback are the pillars of such a culture of accountability. Research from Partners in Leadership® leading accountability training and consulting firm shows that a lack of personal accountability for achieving organizational results is a common organizational challenge:
• 83% feel they would do things differently if it were their own company
• 63% found themselves waiting to see if a situation would resolve itself
• 85% have felt powerless, that they had no control over their situation
• Almost 60% admitted that they saw a problem developing, but did nothing about it
• 76% have fallen into the "just tell me what to do" trap
