Keynote Presentation – Don't Hold People Accountable - Develop Accountable People
Dave Moss, Senior Consultant, Arbinger Institute, Farmington, UT
When it comes to performance management, 95% of employees are dissatisfied with their company’s performance process, while 90% believe it doesn’t provide accurate information. With the overwhelming majority being so dissatisfied, it’s easy to see why accountability is an issue in today’s workforce. And it’s not just employees who are dissatisfied with performance management. Research shows that the single most neglected responsibility of executives is holding people accountable. In this session, drawing from the bestselling book on transforming work culture, The Outward Mindset, participants will learn an accountability model that both employees and managers like.
Participants will learn: 1. The major problem underlying processes that hold people accountable. 2. How to develop self-accountable people. 3. A simple but powerful self-accountability model that can be applied immediately.
