Book description
A guide to personal accountability-the fundamental key to leadership success
With the toughest economic downturn in recent history, the issue of
accountability has taken center stage. However accountability is often
confused with punishment, fault, blame and guilt. In this book, the
author argues that the only true accountability is "personal
accountability" and the only way to achieve it is to take
responsibility for the outcomes of your choices, behaviors and
actions. The 85% Solution reveals that to be truly accountable,
leaders must accept no less than 85% of the responsibility for the
outcomes of your actions; Empower themselves to take the risks and
actions you must in order to get what they want; and Show they are
willing to answer for the outcomes that result from their choices and actions.
- Offers a practical guide to personal accountability and reveals
how this leads to personal and business success
- Guides readers to take the risks and actions to reach their goals
- Contains self-assessments for determining personal
accountability index
