Course Overview
Most failures in shared team accountability trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. Teams read what their leaders tolerate on the practice within organisational leadership far more accurately than what their leaders announce. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with the organisational leadership discipline. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting shared team accountability, ready to be adapted internally. It treats this area of organisational leadership as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the wider organisational leadership agenda improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of shared team accountability is examined, not just described. Progress on this aspect of organisational leadership is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Work concludes with a self-assessment of this strand of organisational leadership that participants can repeat annually.
