Read the full story. “In the fall of 2009 CSI began its work to improve performance through improved accountability within the organization, starting with the leadership group. Within 90 days the following changes had emerged within the CSI daily operation. 1. Communication has improved, eliminating wasted time and effort and creating better execution on many levels. 2. The weekly production meeting has become more productive. The meeting is now "owned by the team" and not a single individual. 3. Workgroups were created to streamline and solidify two processes in materials ordering and management.” Dale Martin President Centrifugal Services Inc. Raleigh Il. A division of Elgin National Industries _________________________________________________ “(This program) has changed my culture, allowing me to interact with my co-workers in a different manner, for the better. I now try to make sure the information I need to perform the work is clear and the key people have been involved to make sure the product produced is accurate. I think they feel more comfortable in communicating with me knowing that I have gone through this accountability transformation. Since the others have been through the accountability program, communication is much better. Starting with the President down to lower management, all understand the need to be accountable to perform tasks that serve the customer. I believe everyone present feels accountable for not just what they are supposed to do but what the overall outcome for each project is." Shannon Davis Production Manager Centrifugal Services Inc. ___________________________________________________ "The workshop really opened my eyes to what accountability is all about. I have been able to incorporate the principles into my everyday interactions with others on the job as well as at home. The tools are very straightforward to use and I have found that just explaining the mindset to others when conflict arises oftentimes brings us back to an awareness that we are all accountable for our success. The first week alone I had conversations with two people, where I explained the 100/0 mindset and stressed what we all stand to gain from coming to a clear agreement and where each person’s accountability lies by focusing on what success looks like. We were able to move forward more productively with a clear agreement." Leigh Ann Shivener Director of HR and Organization Development US Playing Card and Jardin Entertainment Group ____________________________________________________ “This process not only helped me to make improvements in my communication and way of thinking at work, but also in my personal life. I had the mentality that others ought to know what needed to be done and do it. I learned through this program there is a difference between taking accountability versus being responsible. I am able to devote about 20% more time to analysis work that was not getting done timely or at all due to my assistant stepping up to take over other projects/daily tasks. We have a clear agreement for her to take accountability and ownership – in the past I would have just taken it and done it. Our physical inventory in the Fall of 2009 was one of the most productive ones we have performed. I put the goals and objectives of the task on the table for all participants, then took a step back and let others come forward to take ownership of the varying segments . We required 2 less people; we were completely done a – z in 2 days. Accounting normally spends an additional 2 days wrapping up everything after the actual count is done. The count was more accurate due to the prep work everyone put into it by taking accountability for the outcome. I would estimate about a $2,000 savings on labor/time.” Cyndie J. Cook Controller/HR Mgr Centrifugal Services, Inc Raleigh, IL A division of Elgin National Industries ____________________________________________________ “I have participated in several trainings during my 30 years of service with the YMCA and this was by far the BEST training I have ever attended.
