The Leadership Contract™
The Leadership Contract™ helps you gain clarity and commitment you need to be a truly accountable leader. It starts with an idea – a leadership contract. Many leaders do not fully appreciate that when they take on a leadership role at any level a lot is expected of them. One must be accountable and be a positive example for others.
Based on The Leadership Contract™, the following are four critical terms and conditions that leaders must live up to:
Leadership is
a Decision.
Make it
Leadership is
an Obligation.
Step up
Leadership is
Hard Work.
Get tough
Leadership is
a Community.
Connect

The Accountable Manager™
The Accountable Manager™: This program was designed by Lee Hecht Harrison to build up Leader capability in 3 areas including Accountable to Myself, Accountable to My Team and Accountable to My Organization.
The Accountable Manager™ Program Overview
Making the transition from individual contributor to a manager can be a daunting challenge. Unfortunately, many new managers struggle to make this transition. In fact, nearly 60% of all managers underperform during their first two years, leading to performance gaps and employee turnover across the entire frontline. However it’s clear today that frontline managers matter more than ever. Their day-to-day performance impacts customer relationships and engagement of employees. To drive the performance of frontline managers, organizations need to support new candidates as they transition into their role, while also ensuring existing managers continue to develop the skills that will drive success.
Our clients were telling us that the market did not have a scalable solution built off of reputable thought leadership for new and existing front-line managers. In response to this need we created The Accountable Manager™, a management fundamentals training program that equips new managers with the mindset and skills needed to not only lead, but lead with greater accountability. The program is organized around three building blocks to drive accountability at the personal, team and organizational level.
