Stop continuously following up with your team. Start getting real commitment to drive execution. When you get commitment from your team upfront, you can spend more time leading and less time nagging. It allows your team to take more ownership of their work and hold each other accountable.

I host Amar Singh, Chief Operating Officer of Spartan Financial Partners, who shares the powerful strategy he uses to drive commitment, execution, and accountability.

Prior to joining the Spartan team, he held senior leadership positions for Spartan’s parent company, American Credit Acceptance (ACA) with tenure at Smith International, Schlumberger, and CarMax.

American Credit Acceptance is a leading national provider of auto finance solutions with double-digit growth each of the last 10 years.

He started as a Mechanical Engineer in the Oilfield, got 40 patents for many inventions, went to business school alongside and then took on a variety of leadership roles before joining ACA.

Amar holds an MBA from Texas McCombs School of Management (University of Texas at Austin), Masters of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University, and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Osmania University.
