• Why Accountability Doesn't Work: Why Most Leaders Get it Wrong and What To Do - Why don't people hold themselves accountable or take ownership when they know they should? It isn't because of a lack of intelligence or job knowledge. The research is clear: the number one reason why people don't take ownership is emotional. If a person's emotional needs are not met - feeling supported, having a voice, being empowered and trusted - then they are not going to take personal accountability. This program looks at how leaders can leverage the science of emotions to motivate others to take ownership of their goals, thereby making accountability a non-issue. Leaders will learn techniques to connect with the emotions that drive people's behavior and motivation, and create a culture where people are inspired to take ownership and be held accountable because they feel engaged and not coerced.
