Accountability Partners

?I founded Accountability Partners in 2005 after 25 plus years as a Small/Medium Business owner and F500 executive. During our growth years, there was nothing easy about the long days, stress of meeting payroll, hard decisions on sales, marketing and capital investments, normal (and some abnormal!) personnel issues, critical attention to detail and... quality, high expectations for productivity, effective execution on sales, proper financial controls and accurate reporting. During the course of this journey it became clear that our success wasn't the result of one or two people (regardless of innovation or relationships). It came from the collective staff joining together in a concerted effort to learn, strive and create a positive working environment that allowed all of us to excel. I found the principle role of leadership to be clarifying and rallying our people toward a compelling vision, assigning attainable milestones and metrics, and develop exciting incentive programs. Effective leadership instills a performance culture that reward the doer's and has consequences for missed deadlines and poor quality work. It allows high performers to thrive and take on more responsibility. Most importantly it protects us and our clients from mediocrity. ?As I look back, there was great satisfaction in the financial aspects of successfully growing and selling a business, however it was the development of the people and consequently seeing their growth and positive impact on the organization that is the most satisfying legacy of our work. The Accountability Partner motto - and our reason for being engaged with clients today is - Building Organizations by Developing People. Cultivating a core group of high performers, leads to a greater group of high performers and so a high performing organization is built. There is nothing more thrilling than seeing people rise to increasing levels of achievement.Read More
