Learning Opportunity Spotlight

Behind the problems that routinely plague our organizations and families, you’ll find individuals who are either unwilling or unable to deal with broken promises. Colleagues break a rule, coworkers miss a deadline, friends fail to live up to commitments (or just plain behave badly), and nobody says a word. Nobody holds anyone accountable. With repeated infractions, individuals become increasingly upset until they finally do speak their minds, but they do so poorly–often creating whole new sets of problems. Crucial Accountability offers tools for improving relationships in the workplace and life. Learn how to deal with violated expectations in a way that permanently solves the problem at hand without harming the relationship. Register here for this 2-part series.
