Tips and Tools for Small Business Leaders

Business owners commonly feel they're the hardest-working person in their businesses. You're on the right track if you're looking for ways to hold people accountable because greater accountability produces greater results, pure and simple.

The ability to hold people accountable, once mastered, is the single fastest way to profitable and inspired results. Unfortunately, the way to hold people accountable is not by any single action or statement on your part. Instead, it's a set of ongoing actions that you instill in your culture.

In the 3rd quarter Growth Plan Workshop we're doing a deep dive into the book Change the Culture Change the Game. In it, Connors and Smith give a strategy for creating a culture of accountability that produces results based on the premise that:
Experiences foster beliefs, which lead to actions, which produces the results you want.

So the way to get people to take more accountability (the Result you want) is to provide experiences that change their beliefs (about things like how, when, why they do their tasks) which, in turn, will cause them to take action.

The key, then, is to provide the right experiences to foster the belief that accountability is important. Whether you realize it, every interaction with you is an experience you create for your people. Who you promote or compliment, the policies you implement, the mistakes that get you riled up, how you react to feedback... all say "here's how we do things around here." Our blog this month contains examples of experiences you can provide that'll instill the belief that "accountability is important around here."
