When I start talking to business owners or CEO's about designing leadership training , the question I get asked more than any other is, "How do we get our people to be more accountable?" Not an easy question, but the answer starts with, "Your leaders first need to hold themselves accountable". We're now 1/12th through 2020. Here are 9 questions great leaders ask of themselves, and it starts with "Am I Accountable?"
In 1983, I was a junior at the University of the Pacific, and my Dad drove up for "Father/Son Day". Included in the activities was a football game (and a lot of beer). I remember distinctly my dad turning to me and saying "who's that crazy guy running up and down our sidelines?" I said, that's our graduate assistant coach, Pete Carroll.
Yep, Pete was overly enthusiastic even back then. And after an illustrious head coaching career that continues to this day, Carroll has created a training program to help people find purpose. About creating a vision for yourself.
Climate change has become a lightning rod for business and finance leaders around the world. Major economic institutions - including the IMF and major central banks - have begun advocating for climate change initiatives. At Davos last week, the agenda was dedicated entirely to climate change. And climate generated the highest degree of public pressure on corporations based on an analysis of 6 million tweets. In lieu of governments not doing taking action, your employees and your clients are turning towards business to lead this change.
