About this audiobook
There’s an epidemic of underperformance plaguing teams and organisations.
Activity but no progress, meetings with no follow-up, confused responsibilities, impossible demands, missed milestones, low morale, poor engagement, talent drain…
What’s the cause?
Issues with accountability.
From broken promises and unrealistic expectations to finger-pointing and cultures of avoidance and blame, issues with accountability – and the fear that drives them – are rampant across business, government, and NGOs.
If you have people in your team, you have issues with accountability.
Own It! is the book for you if…
- You’ve been let down by a broken promise or expected to do the impossible at work
- You’re struggling with lack of time, too many commitments and a culture of blame
- You’re tired, frustrated and overwhelmed with what lies ahead and can’t see a way forward
- You’re a leader who knows your team could perform better, but aren’t sure what to try next
- You’re ready to break the mould, feel energized and engaged with your work, proud of your achievements, and excited about the future
