Accountability@work: How to Make and Keep Promises and Have Others do the Same

“You can count on me'' is a phrase we don't hear often enough in the workplace. It is the language of accountability - and putting accountability at the heart of any business can be transformational.

In this step-by-step guide, Carolyn Taylor shows you how to master the promise-making process – both as the one who holds others to account and the one who commits to deliver - and establish a lasting culture of accountability. In today’s world of remote working, VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), empowerment and agile work practices, accountability has to be re-imagined.

This book will help you to consistently:

• Deliver your promises, and have others do the same.
• Be a creative and effective leader, holding others to account.
• Maximise your productivity and capacity to perform.
• Make real culture change happen within your organisation.
• Build your reputation as someone people can count on.

This is a book for everyone who relies on others to get things done and everyone who wants to be seen as a consistent and reliable performer or service provider. It is also for everyone who lives inside an organisation who is seeking to build a culture of accountability where people consistently make and keep promises to each other, to customers and to the market.

The first in the @work series: Practical, powerful habits for successful leaders, this book is ideal for the individual, and even better as a gift for all members of your team, helping you build shared language and common habits which will deliver success again and again.
