Fix It

July 1, 2016
According to a recent Gallup poll, nearly 70 percent of American workers feel disengaged in their jobs, and the authors contend that fixing accountability is the best solution to engagement problems. Connors and Smith conducted The Partners in Leadership Workplace Accountability Study to provide an understanding of the 16 accountability traits they see as necessary for running a successful business; and the book offers 240 proven solutions to accountability problems from 120 high-level executives. Practical advice based on those traits includes See It (understanding how things really are); Own It (being personally invested); Solve It (removing obstacles to get results); and Do It (getting things done). Part 1 is an assessment that helps readers determine where (in focusing upon themselves personally, focusing upon their teams, or focusing upon their organizations) they need to Fix It. Part 2 is an introduction to the accountability traits and the results of the study, and part 3 provides practical solutions to immediately implement what needs improvement. This challenging book offers important insight and valuable solutions for leaders.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
