Mutual Understanding
How Circumferential Accountability Drives Performance
Keynote Summary
When something goes wrong in a dysfunctional work environment, team members often resort to finger-pointing and the blame game. My keynote talk will empower your leaders to exercise mutual accountability to disarm defensiveness and propel results.
In this talk, I take the guesswork out of creating an environment where leadership is accountable to its people and vice versa. I’ll share real-world examples from coaching leaders in renowned healthcare organizations while demystifying leading with vulnerability. You’ll be inspired to foster an environment of mutual trust, deepen your relationships for impact, and appreciate your colleagues as human beings.
One in three people doesn’t trust their employer.
