I don't like the word accountability. It's always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. I think it's because it assumes the worst about people. When we talk about accountability, it always seems the assumption is a person is incapable of, or unlikely to, follow through on his/her commitments. So we spend a lot of…

Researchers brought two groups of people together for some testing on goal setting. One group had been identified as low performers and the other as high performers.

Nearly all of us have made a New Year’s resolution and then not followed through. Why is it that most New Year’s resolutions don’t work? In his latest column for Chief Learning Officer magazine, leadership expert Ken Blanchard points to two common causes: accomplishing the goal is tougher than we thought, and we rarely get…

Many of the coaching conversations I’ve had lately have trended to the same theme: work that is almost, but not quite, on the mark. Since this is a keen issue for my clients, perhaps it is for you, too. In these conversations, I’ve learned that a leader believes she’s been clear about what needs to…

Every year, organizations spend millions of dollars on soft skills training. However, when learners try to put their new skills to use without the benefit of structure or reinforcement from their manager, actual behavior change and application of skills are typically only fractionally effective.

It's painful to look back and see how I drank the toxic lemonade for years as an HR person. I was not brainwashed enough to implement KPIs and the rest of the fear-based, addicted-to-measurements nonsense that we see around us today, but I did administer the annual performance review process and it makes me cringe to acknowledge that now.

You know the carrot and stick model. We learn it in pre-school. If you do what the teacher says, you get gold stars. If you don’t, no gold stars for you. We carry that reward and result model throughout our educational system, handing out awards and scholarships to the achievers.
Then we carry that so-called motivational model right into the workplace.
In many businesses—maybe even most—the carrot is the reward and management is the stick.

Best-selling business author Ken Blanchard believes that instead of using performance review as a way to sort and grade people, organizations should use a process that helps everyone “get an A.” “I’ve always talked about helping people get As.

I don't have as much of an argument as the author with "accountability" versus "responsibility," but I do like "responsibility." I worked for a client several years ago who taught me "Who's got the R?" He then instructed me to deliver a training program on it to all 100 plus managers and supervisors. Part of this was developing Responsibility Charts. It worked extremely well!
