If you lead from the front you will know all about accountability. But leadership is more than just about optimizing business processes - it's about making the right decision for your organization. This book is your roadmap to leadership success, enabling you to understand your own business environment, take stock of the situation, and make decisions which will stand up to external and internal scrutiny.
The Accountable Leader is centred around three themes – leadership, accountability and organizational structure, and highlights how most leadership related problems arise from the ineffectiveness of organisational structures that lack accountable jobs. Combining detailed guidance and international case studies with proven insight and practical summaries, the book gives you an effective blueprint for successful leadership in your company.
Practical and focused the book covers everything from reducing levels of management and levels of bureaucracy to differentiating behaviours and establishing clearly demarcated levels of accountability. The Accountable Leader provides you with a robust platform for the assessment of potential leaders and leadership development - and demonstrates how clear accountability enables you and your managers to achieve much more for your organization.
