In many organizations, accountability is applied negatively often leading to a culture of victimization, lack of engagement, and compromised results. Join Jeff Gossett, CEO of Tailwinds Consulting, and certified Organizational Development Consultant, as he explains how to create a culture of accountability and engagement.
During this workshop participants will learn to overcome victimization and create a culture of positive, internal accountability where associates act as owners and willingly provide discretionary effort.
Join us as we:
- Identify the level of accountability/ownership of the average workforce.
- Explain the relationship between Accountability, Engagement, and Discretionary Effort.
- Define external and internal accountability and how they impact culture and performance.
- Explain how negative, external accountability leads to a culture of victimization and lack of accountability.
