Topic: "Achieving Desired Results Through Crucial Accountability"

In studying hundreds of projects across various industries and organizations, researchers discovered that a predictor of success was whether team members could effectively have accountability conversations that would achieve desired results. Utilizing principles from Patterson, Grenny, Maxfield, McMillan, and Switzler’s Crucial Accountability, and other best practices of leadership, this session will explore how to prepare for an accountability conversation, identify practices for navigating an accountability conversation, and follow up in way that will lead to desired performance and results.
