Accountability from Ken: Clearly Define Results

Make sure you are setting clearly defined results to ensure accountability.

Leaders often say; “I don’t care how you do it, just get it done!” 90% of organizations fail to build accountability in their teams because they either have not clearly defined results or have not communicated them broadly. They often don’t achieve the results they were trying to get.

Remember your first step towards creating a culture of accountability is to clearly define results for the organization. People are more productive when they focus on achieving the result. Accountability means the job is not done until the result is achieved. This culture of accountability can only be reached if people clearly understand the results they are expected to deliver.
