About the Book
Leaders don't have to choose between relationships and results!
Sadly, compassion and accountability are too often in tension —leaders feel they have to pick one or the other. But solely prioritizing accountability can create toxic work environments that drive away good talent. On the other end of the spectrum, being too nice can compromise performance and productivity.
Finding harmony between compassion and accountability is the ultimate catalyst for improved results and a thriving workplace.
In Compassionate Accountability: How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results you are given a solution that recognizes that compassion and accountability are not opposites. In fact, accountability is an element of compassion. Compassionate Accountability is the process of building connection while getting results. This book shows how this foundational mindset, philosophy, and way of living can lead to a thriving organizational culture. It covers such topics as:
- Why you can't practice compassion without accountability.
- How to turn on the three "switches" of the Compassion Mindset—and the predictable damaging consequences when they're turned off.
- The key role Compassionate Accountability plays in a healthy leadership culture.
- Six areas to focus on to start building your culture of Compassionate Accountability
- Five common barriers to compassion for leaders—and how to overcome them
Leaders seeking a renewed sense of fulfillment in their roles and increased leadership impact will find inspiration, guidance, and a roadmap for cultural transformation.
My Take on the Book
Being compassionate while still leading can sometimes be difficult, but in this book the author truly provides leaders with a path to take in being able to lead with compassion without this being in conflict. The book is full of practical advise and examples that are ones that I resonated with and could really use as I thought of my own team. The thing that I loved for this book was that I really could take the information and use it right away!
