Accountability: What gets done and HOW it gets done

HR is often asked to help increase accountability in the workplace. Because people just aren't doing their jobs they way they are supposed to! We often think it's because they don't care. Sometimes that's the case, but other times they just don't care about the impact they're having on others. I spoke to Mitch Warner, Managing Partner of the Arbinger Institute. Things got a little uncomfortable for me - but I guess that's when the learning happens right? He talks about an aspect of accountability that we don't think about often. That is, the accountability to others so they get their work done. The impact on others is frequently overlooked. This episode will make you think - every once in a while I have a guest who turns a topic on their head and this was one of them and I was there for it! 💪 Accountability is about getting your job done - but not at the expense of the effectiveness of others! ☠️ This is sometimes described as toxicity, but this is kinder and more productive. 💡 He has specific tips for leaders on how they can get their employees to consider their impact. 🥱 For people who don't care... maybe they need a new job. This was inspiring - I love a new way to think about things! Check it out!
