Law of AccountabilityYour Most Valuable AssetGiven the chance, people who are aware of their deficiencies will tend to self-correct. However, many companies function without adequate communication and guidelines to let employees know where they stand. The employees, consequently, have little or no understanding about how and when they can make corrections.Accountability is the ability to acknowledge what generates a given result. In most organizations, it is achieved by the use of four primary tools: > Written policies and procedures > Performance driven position guides or job descriptions > Regular employee reviews > Compensation and incentive programs that support employee and organizational performance An absence of accountability will almost always signify absences of clear organizational structure, solid vision, frequent course correction, and tangible targets, ultimately leading toward low morale and confusion. But when incorporated into a company's value system, accountability creates a sense of empowerment among employees, vendors, partners, and shareholders, leading toward rapid, positive change and unstoppable forward motion. |
