Book Synopsis
Own your choices and discover the true meaning of accountability
The implementation of true, organization-wide accountability has the potential to transform your firm's--and your personal--performance. Unfortunately, the word "accountability" often has negative connotations, including blame, fear, and conflict.
In Uncommon Accountability, best-selling authors and leadership strategists Brian Moran and Michael Lennington compellingly argue for a positive and affirming conception of accountability--one that stands for personal ownership of one's goals, actions, and progress.
The authors show you how to harness the power of accountability, with all of its built-in potential to enable growth and learning, improve well-being, reduce stress, and drive results. You'll also learn to:
- Manage negative consequences by "holding others capable" and stop playing the blame game
- Shift your thinking to take real advantage of simple behavior changes that improve results and engagement
- Emphasize the power and importance of personal choice in every interaction
Containing real-world case studies that show you how to apply the principles contained within to your own circumstances, Uncommon Accountability is the perfect tool to unlock the potential of your team members.
From the Back Cover
OWN YOUR CHOICES AND UNLOCK THE TRUE POTENTIAL OF ACCOUNTABILITY
Personal accountability is the bedrock upon which all sustained success in life is built. Yet, what if nearly everything we have been taught about accountability is wrong? What if the prevailing notions of "Holding Someone Accountable," and being "Held Accountable" are impossible, and instead of driving accountability, actually undermine it?
The way you think about accountability affects every aspect of your life. And the way you understand it may be keeping you from accomplishing what you are capable of. Accountability isn't about the use of force, it's about freedom. The freedom to choose your actions. The freedom to pursue what matters most to you in life.
In Uncommon Accountability, New York Times bestselling authors Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington present a fresh perspective that has been vetted with thousands of individuals and organizations over nearly two decades. Whether you are an individual looking to better your career, increase your income or improve your relationships, or a leader trying to inspire your team to accomplish what they are capable of, this book will show you how to powerfully shift your view of accountability and dramatically improve your results, and your life.
