7 Words Define What Employees Expect From Leadership - Accountability

By Glenn Llopis,

Accountability:

Employees expect leaders to be accountable to others as much as themselves.   Too many leaders cut corners, delegate too much and push off problems to others that they should handle themselves.   Leaders that avoid adversity and the accountability that goes with it are those who are trying to protect their reputations – when they should be willing to put their reputations on the line to protect  those they lead.

Accountable leaders are the most respected and admired.   When leaders  protect their employees and  have their backs, they will want to do the same for their leaders.
