Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Less than half of the leaders responding to a recent Gallup survey think they are exceptional at fostering accountability within their teams. Managers serving under these leaders gave their leaders even lower scores.
It can be difficult to create a culture of accountability at work. Holding people accountable can require difficult conversations, stressful interactions, and unpopular corrective actions. Yet we do a disservice to our teams when we let bad behavior slide.
Paul wrote, “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” (Ephesians 4:15)
As Christian leaders, holding people to high standards is an important way to express God’s love and his desire for what’s best for them.
