“I’m nobody – it doesn’t matter what I do.”
Maybe you are in one of these roles. Or maybe you are a senior leader, or the CEO. It doesn’t matter what your role is or how long you have been in the organization. Let me say it again.

It is not easy to implant the concept of Six Sigma into the culture of a company. This is because Six Sigma hardly bears any comparison with other quality management tools, barring a few similarities with Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award. But unlike the Baldridge Award, Six Sigma gets to the core of the business sphere with proven tools. But what really stands out as the major difference between Six Sigma and all other
These comments come from every level, and they are referring to people both above them organizationally, as well as those that may work for them. In other words the concern is widespread and includes everyone.
People are concerned because a lack of accountability is frustrating, but they also know that tremendous productivity and efficiencies can be gained when more people are accountable for completing their tasks, commitments and expectations.
Accountability is an important thing.
Unfortunately, inherent in most all of the comments above and in the many conversations I’ve had is that people think the accountability gap is about someone else. “They” aren’t accountable. “They” need to improve. The focus is on fixing the behavior of others.
While this might be true, this is the wrong place to put the focus, at least at first.

If you want greater accountability around you, start by being more accountable yourself. Before you tune me out, I know what some of you are thinking…
“I’m just a middle manager – it’s not my responsibility.”
“I’m just a supervisor - I can’t change it.”
“I’m nobody – it doesn’t matter what I do.”

Every aspect of your business should enhance the customer experience, not detract from it.Every retail establishment – whether a store, a bank, or a restaurant – in some way markets itself as being customer focused. The clerks in the commercials and print ads are always smiling and looking like they’re overjoyed when a customer needs help. How often do you get that reaction from the staff when you actually go into those

Whether you want a flier or a brochure to publicize your products and services, wish to communicate with other people through a newsletter or in-house magazine or want to publish a magazine as a commercial prospect, printing is the technology that becomes the most essential factor. Commercial printing is a highly technical task and most people, not familiar with the processes, are easily overwhelmed by the many parameters invol

Have you ever seen an ad so compelling, that you soon found yourself glued to it? You just couldn't stop reading! Maybe you even took the plunge and bought the product advertised. Well, the good news is you can make your own ads much more “hypnothical” by simply adding some carefully chosen "powerful words" to your copywriting.There are some words that have been proven over time to increase responsiveness when u

If you want to engender and create greater accountability in those around you, you can start by being a good role model. You can be 100% accountable yourself.
I’m reminded of what my father often told me: “When you point a finger towards someone else there are four times as many fingers pointing back at you.”
Being accountable is about figuring out how you can make things better. Other people’s actions aren’t in your control, and many events aren’t in your control either, but your response to these situations and events is completely in your control. You can choose to be 100% accountable and responsible for your response.
Some Questions
While thinking about the challenges you face with accountability in your organization, ask yourself the following questions:
• What is my role in this situation?
• What am I doing (or not doing) to promote the situation as it currently exists?
• What about this situation is in my control?
• What am I thinking?
• What are my beliefs?
• What can I do to have an impact?
• What can I do differently to change the result?
Asking these questions takes courage, because it takes away your ability to blame others. Asking these questions may be a change of your habits. Asking these questions may be hard, because the answers may require work.
Courageous and difficult, perhaps, but these are the questions of a 100% accountable person.
