Leaders are responsible for many things, but are they accountable?
Leaders provide a compelling vision of far-reaching goals that inspires in peers and followers a desire to achieve the same goal
Leaders are proud of who they are, the people or organization they represent, and the work they are responsible for accomplishing. Leaders lead by example in all aspects of their lives and hold themselves personally accountable for their actions and for achieving their objectives.
A leader provides an environment which incants and enables their followers and co-workers to succeed in accomplishing the team's objectives. This environment includes providing the tools, the care, and the support system necessary for followers to continue their desire to help the team achieve the objectives.
Leaders hold themselves personally accountable for the positive growth of each of their followers and therefore provide continual coaching, guidance, and encouragement to assist in their personal development. Leaders provide clear direction and communication of expectations to each of their followers so that they will each have a clear path to follow to reach their objectives. Leaders also monitor status, progress and results they provide continual positive reinforcement or redirection as needed.
After clear direction, coaching, support, and continuous interaction and reinforcement, leaders hold followers individually accountable to accomplish the expectations of that individual. When an individual's expectations are not met which adversely effects the team, leaders take actions to improve or remedy the situation to best allow the rest of the team to accomplish the team's objectives.
