Ă propos de ce livre
More and more managerial challenges require leaders to be accountable-to take initiative without having full authority for the process or the outcomes. Accountability goes beyond responsibility. Whereas responsibility is generally delegated by the boss, the organization, or by virtue of position, accountability is having an intrinsic sense of ownership of the task and the willingness to face the consequences that come with success or failure. Through this guidebook you will learn how your organization and its leaders can create a culture that fosters accountability by focusing on five areas: support, freedom, information, resources, and goal and role clarity.

CCLâs research has yielded a simple model that is designed to build a culture of accountability (see Figure 1, page 13). The five focus areas are
âą supportâorganizational, supervisory, and work team support
âą freedomâthe freedom to direct important aspects of the work
âą informationâaccess to relevant information needed to do the work
âą resourcesâaccess to enough resources to do the work
âą goal and role clarityâclarity of the goal, responsibility, and consequences of action or inaction
Accountability Scorecard
Rate how well you think your organization and its leaders employ these practices of accountability. The scale ranges from 1 (not very descriptive of us) to 5 (very descriptive of us).
â | 1. We are specific and clear about roles, team leadership, and individual ownership in a way that eases confusion. |
â | 2. People have a sense of ownership for the results of their team. |
â | 3. We face squarely what went right and what did not, and why. |
â | 4. When things donât go right, we donât hear denial, blaming, excuses, and scapegoating. |
â | 5. The team leader is held accountable for the results of the team, even when results fall short of rising expectations. |
â | 6. The accounting aims at improvement, not punishment. |
â | 7. People expect that their actions, decisions, and behaviors will be evaluated. |
â | 8. Leaders take the initiative to claim and create what they need to succeed. |
â | 9. People are held accountable if they donât do what they say they will do. |
â | 10. When facing competing priorities (for example, cutting costs versus improving customer service), people feel that they have the freedom, support, and control to decide how to navigate the conflict. |
â | 11. People feel and can see a strong link between what they do and overall team performance. |
If your total score is less than 33, your organization and its leaders probably need to take a look at how they can better create a culture that encourages accountability.
Of the above eleven items, which two have improved most in the past eighteen months?
Which two might you be overdoing?
Which two would benefit you most to improve in the next eighteen months?
In addition, leaders have to balance between two competing considerations: process and results. Indicate below how well your leaders balance these two considerations, with 1 indicating that they put too much weight on the process, 3 indicating that the balance is just right, and 5 indicating that they put too much weight on results.
â | a. Leaders are held accountable for the standards and procedures they use to make decisions. |
â | b. Leaders are held accountable for the outcomes of their decisions. |
Support
In complex organizations, support for major projects can be both broad and deep. In general terms, there are three types of support that are most crucial for fostering accountability. The first is an organizational level of support. The second centers around the role of the supervisor or boss. The third is the human resources assigned to the taskâthe managerâs team.
Support for accountability has a structural aspect as well as a cultural aspect.
The structural component comprises systems that provide goal and role clarity, that grant authority and official power, that supply information from internal and market sources, and that furnish resources for operational implementation. Following are some questions you can ask to determine the degree of structural support for accountability at each of the three levels.
âą Organizational level
â Does the organization publicly acknowledge the importance of the work and the people doing it?
â Do our strategy and tactics align with the workâs mission and vision?
â Are there clear processes to ...
