Most leaders believe they are accountable because they are successful. Not so, says this week's guest, Michael Timms, author of "How Leaders Can Inspire Accountability: Three Habits That Make or Break Leaders and Elevate Organizational Performance."
In this episode, Michael addresses three behaviors or habits of personal accountability:
- not blaming,
- looking in the mirror, and
- engineering the solution
He also discusses the organizational impact of a culture of blame and what he means when he states, "We are not asking leaders to risk their lives, only their egos."
Michael is a leadership development consultant and principal of Avail Leadership. Prior to forming his own consultancy, Michael was a consultant with Deloitte and an HR leader in the construction and manufacturing industries.
His new book can be found here.
