Accountability: Building a Performance Culture

A performance culture is one in which individuals deliver on their promises. Similarly, they do not promise or undertake to do something unless they can achieve it to the desired standard within the specified timeframes. This workshop provides participants with an understanding of what is required to create a performance culture through clearly articulated work requests and being prepared to evaluate performance, provide meaningful feedback and importantly, hold individuals to account. Too often we witness the symptoms of a lack of accountability: blame, denial, low standards and under-performance. This workshop is targeted at managers and leaders who wish to drive performance by taking personal accountability for their role and empowering their team members to take control – “To see it, own it, solve it and DO IT!” Now, more than ever Accountability is the key to optimal performance.
