Accountability and leadership
We have all heard the famous story of “The Buck Stops Here” plaque on President Harry Truman’s desk. But few executives today realize the critical importance of accountability on leadership skills. Powerful leaders accept responsibility for their knowledge of situations as well as their actions. Too often today we find managers in very senior positions who blame others for failures or don’t accept ownership for troublesome situations in their organizations. They rationalize, deny, and blame. Sometimes, in a strange twist, they even accept responsibility that is not theirs. How does this happen? Why does it happen? The reasons are varied and complex. The only thing that is clear is that there is a crisis of accountability in today’s business environment.
Oakley Advisors executive coaches directly address the issues of accountability with each and every client. Some of our clients tell us that this aspect of our program alone justifies the entire cost of the program. Call us today to find out more about issues of accountability and how we can move your entire organization to a new level of performance by addressing it.
