When many individuals within an organization adopt the concept of personal accountability,you get better results, improved teamwork, and increased trust amongst colleagues. You also get less finger pointing and more focus on moving forward to achieve the goals of the organization. If everyone took responsibility and made personal accountability a core value, our organization could truly be transformed. Personal Accountability allows you to move away from a mindset where things happen "to you" in your life without your consent or influence, and embrace your role in the way your life is shaped by moving to a place of true power and personal success. In this course you will learn about: The combined power of responsibility, empowerment, and accountability in achieving successful project results and increased professional growth; strategies to increase your responsibility, empowerment, and accountability at work to increase your performance to the next level; creating clear agreements with colleagues to maintain focus and overcoming obstacles when working together.
