Accountability for Strategic Change
According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the first known use of the word “accountability” dates back to 1770. While the word may be easy to define, executing accountability and how leaders actually define it within their organizations has always been a challenge, which is why it’s the theme for this month’s issue of The Watercooler Newsletter.
This issue is jam-packed with unique and varied perspectives from business leaders – including the CEO of Owens Corning, the Senior VP of HR at PulteGroup, and Root’s own Jim Haudan – on how they define accountability and how to create accountability across departments and roles and through peer-to-peer interactions. You can learn how behaviors, feedback, and emotionally committing people to goals can foster an environment of meaningful accountability.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the different perspectives!
