ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE WORKPLACE
As a manager you are called to do different things with agility and precision ranging from setting strategy to driving execution. A key skill that is often neglected or not mastered among managers is the ability to hold your team accountable for their work outcomes. This skill has become a must to have, especially where more and more organizations are embracing remote working as part of a flexible work style. In a study in Harvard Business Review, 46 percent of high-level managers were rated poorly on their ability to hold others accountable (2010). Fostering accountability is an art. It calls for a cultural shift and encompasses a set of behaviors that are inter-connected. Being accountable increases employee motivation, which in turn influences their ability to meet commitments successfully.
