Accountability Ally Part 2

In an earlier blog, we talked about the importance of utilizing an “accountability ally” for increased productivity in your business.  Did you ever think of yourself as an “accountability ally” for your team?  You should hold yourself to the same standards as you do for your “ally”:  To achieve your desired results, you must make sure your team is aligned with YOUR vision and that you include them in planning for their buy-in.

Encouraging your team to maintain a high level of productivity yields more positive results than a heavy-handed approach.  Remember to focus on the agreed-upon goals, strategies, and action steps.  Your team will perform up to your level of expectations.
