Building Accountability as a Leader
Dr. Pearl Sumathi — Assistant Professor of Practice for the Department of Management in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University
As a manager, you are called to do different things with agility and precision ranging from setting strategy to driving execution. A key skill that is often neglected or not mastered among managers is the ability to hold your team accountable for their work outcomes. In a study in Harvard Business Review, 46 percent of high-level managers were rated poorly on their ability to hold others accountable (2010). Fostering accountability is an art. It calls for a cultural shift and encompasses a set of behaviors that are inter-connected. Being account- able increases employee motivation, which in turn influences their ability to meet commitments successfully. In this seminar you will learn to systematically implement the accountability framework (RASE) in your teams: • R elinquish authority: Learn to give up control in areas that often debilitate your direct reports in performing their roles. • Assign responsibility: Delegate areas that your direct reports are responsible for owning and managing. • Set goals: Set clear goals to be accomplished as part of an overall performance agreement and how success will be measures • E xecute accountability: Empower your team to manage tasks and deliverables while ultimately holding them accountable for the outcomes. During the seminar, you will: • Discuss the dynamics of accountability • Examine the four phases of the accountability framework (RASE) with real-time examples • Develop a consolidated approach to execute accountability among their teams (only for full-day workshops) • Complete an individual 90-day action plan to implement the RASE framework This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for Executive and Professional Development in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.3 to 0.6 con- tinuing education units (CEUs) depending on the length of the program. » KORN FERRY COMPETENCIES Collaborates | Communicates effectively | Manages complexity | Develops talent | Directs work | Drives engagement | Cultivates innovation | Drives results | Strategic mindset
