5 behaviors that demonstrate highly effective leadership

Without accountability, even the most talented and well-intentioned leaders fail. These are the behaviors that demonstrate it.

Have you ever worked for a leader who made a mistake, a bad decision, or didn’t know the answer to something and, rather than admit it, they deflected it by blaming someone else, justifying it, or acting like it didn’t happen? This lack of accountability happens all too often in the workplace and it undermines trust, engagement, and communication. Leadership accountability is at the heart of any organization’s ability to achieve optimal performance and build a strong culture.
