About

What I’m here to do:

See the truth. Tell the truth.

Imagine a world in which everyone, regardless of position or circumstances, is accountable for their results.

My Mission:

Help others to find the courage to see, hear and tell their own truth so they can live fully accountable lives.

What I do:

I work with leaders and teams to create organizations that leverage accountability as the competitive advantage that drives their results.

I’ve authored three books. You can learn more about them below.

I believe:

You cannot mandate accountability, you can only demonstrate it.

It boils down to this: underneath every performance issue is an accountability issue. It stems from a lack of trust; a leader or a team member feels “I don’t trust them to get it done.”

When there is a lack of trust, there is some aspect of the truth – about you, about them or about the situation – that is not being acknowledged or spoken. It leads to the frequent problems that plague organizations and stand in the way of results: silos, turf wars, politics – the list goes on and on. WIth accountability, those problems are resolved.

I help you see and live the truth. It’s rigorous. It takes courage. We go on the journey together.

A guide to personal accountability: the fundamental key to leadership success

Accountability is often confused with punishment, fault, blame and guilt. The focus of this book is to show the only true accountability is personal accountability, and the only way to achieve it is to take responsibility for the outcomes of your choices, behaviors and actions.

The 85% Solution reveals that to be truly accountable, leaders (or should this be “everyone”?) must accept no less than 85% of the responsibility for the outcomes of their actions. To succeed, leaders must:

  • Empower themselves to take essential risks and actions to get what they want
  • Show they are willing to own the outcomes – “good” or “bad” – that result from their choices and actions.
