Alan M. Dobzinski (Author), MCC with Margaret E. Wilson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2006

From corporate giants to PTA presidents, from humanitarian leaders to heads of state, everyone loves to talk about "accountability." In our post-Enron world, accountability has become the new watchword. Yet how many of us really understand what it means or how to make it happen? Companies talk about how much they 'need' accountability, yet too few take the concrete steps needed to 'ensure' it. Business leaders and managers say they want to "hold their people accountable," yet they have no idea how or where to start. These are the questions answered in "The Accountability Factor: The Buck 'Starts' Here." The book shows business leaders and managers how to establish accountability, using a professional, respectful and effective method of getting things done. Filled with dozens of stories, practical tips and real-world examples, "The Accountability Factor" outlines a step-by-step process for creating a "Want-To" culture and creating more powerful, productive relationships in the workplace.
