Empower

Positive accountability happens when leaders and employees choose to see themselves as responsible for the whole organization, not just themselves. This means both are willing to act on their own authority in service to the customer and the business. 

It means taking personal responsibility for the organization without guaranteeing personal gain. 

It’s a powerful step towards personal and professional growth and an environment that fosters responsibility, trust, and continuous improvement.

About the Workshop

In Empowered at Work: Cultivating a Culture of Positive Accountability, leaders and individual contributors alike will find a new liberation in their work and confidence in their capacity to create the environment that all need to thrive. 

Based on a Peter Block favorite, The Empowered Manager, participants explore the value of positive accountability and the power of choice, empowering all to take ownership of their actions.

Each session develops the mindset of being accountable from the inside out—from how you think about it to how you demonstrate it through your actions in everyday life.   

In this workshop, participants will:

• Understand where they currently stand through an individual accountability assessment.
• Discover the dominant and alternative approaches to work, how they are cemented into the mindsets of individuals who work in the organization, and how they can drive the organizational culture.
• Learn skills for recognizing different types of relationships and strategies to manage them—especially when trust is low.
• Exercise key skills and processes, apply learnings to current work challenges, identify core values, and align them with one’s professional path.
• Track progress using a Learning MAP (My Action Profile) to help cultivate a new narrative about one’s role and nurture a mindset by transforming insights into actionable steps.

Accountability is a choice that empowers those who own it. It is a mindset about the choices we make and how we want to live and work with others.

Cultivating a culture of positive accountability is a powerful way to make a lasting contribution to the workplace, your work unit, and the work lives of others.

“Ownership is the decision to acknowledge our guilt.  To confess that the world is, in part, our construction.  In this way, we become authors of our own experience.  It is the choice to decide on our own what value and meaning will occur when we show up.” – Peter Block
