Overview

How to unleash the power of accountable communication to stop the blame game, banish excuses and boost productivity. A single, powerful factor separates super-achieving teams from those that throw around phrases like 'not my job' and 'nobody told me': Accountability. Humans are more creative, more responsive to challenges, and more capable of serving the needs of others when they are held accountable.
Great supervisors have a unique talent for tapping into employee's personal accountability. But teams with low levels of accountability are led by managers who are sloppy about defining roles, assigning ownership of tasks and ensuring individuals deliver results.
When managers haven't mastered this fundamental leadership skill, the consequences can be catastrophic. Projects stall, communication breaks down, people point fingers, morale tanks. And when star employees realize they don't work on a high-performing team, they head for the door.

Why should you attend?

When communicating goes wrong, from a misunderstanding that leads to a work site mishap, to a worker taking personal offense to an offhand remark, both individuals need to face how they contributed to the problem. While our human insecurities drive us into defensiveness and self-justification, everyone involved in a communication problem bears some degree of responsibility. Attend the session to learn how to unleash the power of accountable communication & to boost productivity.
