In Conscious Accountability, Yale professors, psychologists, and leadership consultants David C. Tate, Marianne S. Pantalon, and Daryn H. David inspire managers and leaders to create a culture of exceptional accountability—one that extends beyond the traditional notions of accountability involving extrinsic motivations, carrots and sticks, and rewards and punishments—so that you and your organization will achieve better business results and experience greater satisfaction in doing so. They invite you to think about yourself and your working relationships more completely by applying the powerful CONNECT framework (creating clarity, opening up engagement, nailing it, noticing, exchanging feedback, claiming it, and trying again). Through this framework, you will raise your understanding and awareness of basic human needs like autonomy, mastery, and belonging. Learn to build trust and motivate yourself and your colleagues for greater outcomes. Connect more closely to others, put people in a position to succeed, elevate and distinguish yourself, and generate excellence everywhere you turn. Follow along with case studies and practice exercises and embrace the journey toward conscious accountability.
