Principal, Senior Leader

Description

‘We just need people to be more accountable’ is a phrase Dr Paige Williams often hears from the school leaders she works with. The problem is, when leaders say this, what their people hear is ‘You’re not doing enough,’ or ‘You’re letting me down.’ And this is because accountability is often what gets discussed when things are going wrong, rather than as a means of setting things up for success.

This webinar will help leaders better understand:

• The three main issues that hold leaders back from resetting accountability
• How to set reset accountability expectations to bring out the best in themselves and their people
• Why partnering is the critical relationship dynamic for accountability success
• The mindset that sets accountability up for success for leaders and their teams.

So that they…

Think: Resetting accountability will improve the performance of my team and help me be more effective as a leader.

Feel: Curious and ready to experiment with resetting accountability to see what benefits it delivers.

Do: Experiment with applying new approaches to accountability to a challenge they are facing right now with their team.

'Accountability may be the most powerful and pervasive influence on human behavior.'

- Prof Philip E Tetlock

Key takeaways 

• a better understanding of the three main issues that hold leaders back from resetting accountability

• awareness of how to reset accountability expectations to bring out the best in themselves and their people.
