It is a well know fact that people resist change at first and can be threatened by new standards of performance. How do effective leaders communicate their vision in a way that creates accountability while achieving results?
This month, Senior Associate Elaine Morris interviews Dynamic Results' Managing Partner, Henry J. Evans, author of "Winning With Accountability, The Secret Language of High Performing Organizations". Henry has led workshops all over the world in the last 18 months since the book came out. Over 11,000 books have been purchased and thousands have attended the Accountability workshops. Henry will share, in this 5 minute video, how to face the challenge of implementing these methods and how to help others in your workplace embrace the needed changes.
Henry's tips include:
Focus on yourself and improving your own communication with the use of the 4 piece Accountability Puzzle™
Let your team members know you will be practicing a new way of relating that may possibly come across as more challenging at first.
Especially assure those around you that you do trust them - this is important because you will be increasing the amount of detail you are sharing in your expectations and in your requests, which can trigger tension.
Be a good model for being accountable in keeping your own promises, giving commitments with specific outcomes and deliverable times and being open to feedback from your team members when they share how you can better meet their needs.
