Do You Know How to Build Strong Leadership Accountability?

Boy, did Peter Drucker know what he was talking about.

Drucker was painfully frank and bluntly humorous in his thinking and writing. One of my favorite quotes, one which I think of often as I travel the world meeting with leaders, captures the essence of the work I do today.

“Only three things happen naturally in organizations,” Drucker said. “Friction, confusion and underperformance. Everything else requires leadership.”

True enough. This Druckerism is reflected in one of my own leadership principles: Accountable leaders drive success; mediocre one’s drive failure.

However, philosophy can only take you so far in the pursuit of truly accountable, effective and impactful leadership. Building those capabilities remains a profound, often unfulfilled challenge for far too many organizations. Far too many leaders simply don’t know how or where to start.

To help leaders around the world step up in more significant ways, I am pleased to launch a number of new resources designed to help leaders become more accountable and to build real leadership accountability in their organizations.

• What is leadership accountability and why is it important?
• What can you do to become a more accountable leader?
• How can you create a culture of accountability across your organization?

The journey to leadership accountability can be long and arduous. Many leaders may find they just don’t have the intestinal fortitude to function as truly accountable leaders.

For those who are willing to do the work, these resources should help provide a pathway to a more effective, more accountable future.

This week’s Gut Check for Leaders asks: Do you know how to build strong leadership accountability?


We have many resources to help you become the most accountable leader you be, develop accountable leaders on your team, and scale leadership accountability across your organization.
