While today’s topic is practical and necessary, it’s a leadership skill that we see some organizations struggle with: accountability.What if your structure or system problem is really a lack of accountability? How do you create a balance of healthy accountability that helps every person contribute at their best level, without micromanaging?In this episode, Jenni shares 4 principles for creating a culture of accountability, including: clarify expectations, follow up, measure results, and evaluate ROI. When you clarify expectations, you can keep your team accountable while leaving room for how an employee accomplishes those goals - and we can work better, together.

I recently heard Marshall Goldsmith say that “leaders are better than ever, yet the feedback about leaders is worse than ever. The expectations for leaders have changed.” This immediately resonated with me, and I wanted to find out what leadership expert and author, Tim Arnold, had to say about it. In this episode, Tim shares the challenges he’s hearing from leaders, the transformational power of “both/and” thinking, and how he coaches leaders who find themselves in an “either/or” approach to help them shift to something new. Tim Arnold has spent over two decades helping leaders manage complexity, increase resilience, and deliver results, with clients that include The United Nations, Royal Bank of Canada, Allstate Insurance, Compassion International, Toyota, and Siemens. After running both a for-profit business and a homeless shelter, he leverages his real-world experience to help organizations pursue both profit and purpose. Tim’s work focuses on helping leaders unleash the superpower of Both/And thinking in an Either/Or world.Connect with Tim Visit www.leadwithand.com to download list of key leadership tensions and read the first 3 chapters of Lead with AndConnect with online on YouTube & InstagramConnect with JenniDownload Tim’s list of leadership tensions and let us know what stands out to you.
