A culture of accountability is the key to business and organisational success

Look at any dictionary for a definition of accountability and you'll come across words like these:

"Having to explain"

"Defend one's actions"

"Blamable"

"Give a satisfactory reason"

Do you get the picture? Aren't these so negative?

Isn't it no wonder that people who should be accountable, shun leadership and responsibility and bury their heads in the sand instead taking the actin they really need to take.

Now what would happen if we made accountability into the kind of kind of positive concept it should be?

What would happen if we said accountability was "The personal choice to rise above one's circumstances and demonstrate ownership necessary for achieving desired results - to see it! To own it! To solve it! To do it!

This is about developing a mindset, the attitude and the perspective to make the changes necessary.
