Seal of Honor: Leadership, Accountability, and Lessons from the Frontline

In today’s show, podcast host Natalie Ivey, talks with special guest, retired Navy Seal turned HR Executive, Tom DeJarnette. This episode focuses on an issue that is continuing to come up with HR and Employee Relations professionals, which is the issue of accountability almost becoming a “dirty word” in business. Performance management is so important in business; yet when managers try to hold employees accountable it is turning into complaints of bullying and harassment.

 Key topics:

• Identifying why accountability in some organizations has become so difficult and is turning into serious employee drama
• Recognizing the performance management challenges leaders face when having crucial performance discussions with team members and how to improve them
• Laying the foundation for a culture with strong leaders who know how to build trust with teams
• Guest, Tom DeJarnette shares his lessons from leadership in the Navy Seals that translate to employers on how to establish a culture of accountability from the beginning of an employee’s relationship with the organization
• Creating strong organizational values that foster an environment that values personal responsibility and accountability
