Linda Galindo

Every time someone in your organization engages in unaccountable behavior, there is a cost. You waste time. You waste money. You move further away from the results you need.  If everyone in your organization isn’t fully accountable, who’s accountable for that? When we make agreements with each other to be fully accountable, we are all leaders.

Using the key principles of accountability outlined in The 85% Solution, this presentation shows leaders (and everyone is a leader) how to teach and model personal accountability. You will learn to:

• Understand what accountability is and the benefits it produces
• Measure exactly how accountable your organization is
• Identify unaccountable behaviors in your organization and learn how to STOP them
• Outline what your accountable organization looks, sounds and feels like
• Learn the key agreements that people within organizations must make with each other to instill complete accountability from top to bottom

Relationships can go haywire in the blink of an eye. Sometimes we can be completely unaware of why or how. In this keynote, Linda Galindo guides the way to build cohesive, rewarding high-quality relationships by understanding that accountability is the key to clarity, productivity and less stress. What you’ll learn:

• The power of expectations in creating high-quality rewarding professional relationships
• Improved communication at the executive level
• A three-step approach to separate personal from professional expectations
• Skills to hold others accountable

·       How to ensure every contact counts toward realizing the success of your organization

When the goal is clear, leadership can be an exhilarating experience. When goals are ill defined, leadership can be frustrating and unsatisfying. In this presentation, Linda Galindo demonstrates powerful tools that enable you to transform plans into action. You will learn how to:

• Adopt personal responsibility and accountability as the foundation for individual and team success
• Create personal strategies for improving accountability and internalize the importance of making and keeping agreements
• Understand organizational roles, and how role clarity powerfully influences others

As an added bonus, each participant learns two useful ways to manage those who seem to have been put on earth solely to thwart group efforts.

Technology. Globalism. Diversity. Complex issues and accelerated change require new ways of thinking and new ways of coping.

Imagine you are Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle who in April, 1942 knew he had B-25s that HAD to take off from an aircraft carrier’s 467 foot runway. It took some doing but he got approval for his plan. Imagine trying to convince your boss that you can get a plane that weighs over 35,000 pounds to take off in 467 feet!

That’s the job of many professionals today. It is often no secret that there is too much tonnage to take off. But do they know what the 467 feet equates to in business speak? If leadership knows the professionals in their organization have key programs and initiatives to lift the organization to its potential, are they acting like it? If not great talent can be instrumental in getting everyone ready for take off with leadership support.

It’s doubtful Colonel Doolittle used words like “hope” and “I think maybe…”. He presented and represented the most compelling picture possible to convince and stand on his leadership to create a sense of security and trust as he asked for incredible personal sacrifice and great skill to get the job done.

Objectives:

1. Learn how mindset means the difference between success and failure communicating and getting support from leadership.
2. Understand how clarity allows any organization to brace for the impact of effective programs and initiatives.
3. Apply 3 steps and 2 tools to current challenges that require increased ownership and accountability for success.
