Holding Others Accountable

Without Judgment

Do you feel like you spend too much time following up with your team or colleagues? Are you struggling to get the information you need to move your projects forward? If yes, your team is missing an effective accountability structure. This session will offer practical tools and techniques to create that structure.

First, you will learn the key questions to ask your direct reports, colleagues, and senior leaders to clarify accountability. Then you will explore why holding accountability without judgment is crucial. Finally, you will practice using powerful questions that allow others to learn from their actions and increase their awareness, self-knowledge, capacity, and resilience.

Holding accountability is an essential skill that saves time, reduces conflict, empowers others, and helps people grow.

This experiential program is delivered on-site or online and works for any-sized group of professionals.  

For the online version, each participant will need a PC, a Laptop, or a Tablet with an operating system, speakers, and a microphone. There will NOT be a dial-in option. Please check your equipment in advance and make sure it is working.
