Warning: This book will change the
way you lead and succeed—no excuses!
“There’s no accountability!” You
probably say it every time your people
fail to deliver the results on which
you’ve staked enormous resources—not to
mention your reputation. And you’re
probably right. The lack of
accountability is one of the greatest
drags on any business.
Leadership Without Excuses helps
you take control of this chronic problem
and launch a leadership program focuses
on engaging employees, executing
strategy, and managing ethics and
liability. The authors explain how to
achieve this first by dividing your
workforce into three neat categories:
-
Saints, employees who perform
well under any conditions
-
Sinners, the lost causes who
don’t belong in a work
environment to begin with
-
Save-ables, the vast majority of
any workforce, whose performance
depends on the quality of their
leader
The authors then arm you with
know-how for instilling a sense of
accountability in the Save-ables.
You’ll immediately notice a dramatic
increase in employee performance,
making it easier to ensure SOX
compliance, align the workforce with
a new strategy, increase sales, or
turn around problem teams.
This game-changing guide helps end
the excuses and puts your people on
the path to quick, effective, and
continuous success.
