A blueprint to holding your employees accountable

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. Our sister company, ResourcefulManager, has developed a proven success plan that walks you step by step from hiring responsible employees, setting clear, consistent expectations & goals to establishing commitment, communicating consequences or rewards – and the best ways to follow through. It's all inside their Blueprint: The Accountable Workforce This framework has been distilled into 43 pages of no-fluff information, insights, and advice to increase accountability – plus 5 additional practical tools (think desk references) designed to help you take action. Here's a snapshot of what's covered 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   Get The Accountability Blueprint   You received this email because your email has previously purchased a product from Executive Reports.
