Crucial Conversations for Accountability

(aka Crucial accountability)

Accountability is critical to healthy relationships and organizations. As people improve in their ability to hold one another accountable, they also improve trust, efficiency and engagement. This engaging two-day course, previously titled Crucial Accountability, teaches nine powerful skills for resolving performance problems, strengthening trust and reliability and eliminating inconsistency through group discussion, real-time practice, and group support and coaching.

  • Learn techniques to hold anyone accountable, no matter their position.
  • Practice talking about violated expectations in a way that solves problems, improves relationships and improves team and organizational effectiveness.
  • Strengthen performance management skills via the ability to candidly coach others through challenges, addressing behavior routinely and consistently.
  • Discover new communication skills — the difficult kind that may not come naturally, but when learned, mean the difference between managing people and managing process.
