I  have been chatting with various teams and they all share the same sentiment. We are stressed and we are burnt out.

Leaders I know that the stress for you is also magnified.  We have 5 more months to complete all the actions from the Strategic plans. 

How do we help our teams cope with the stress so that they can work?

In this podcast I suggest one cause of stress and give recommendation of how to deal with stress.

Transparency leads to #accountability and accountability promotes #transparency.

Leaders cannot be 100% transparent at all times.  Tis would be irresponsible.  Leaders have to hold the balance between the need to be strategic,  confidential and the need for transparency.

They also need to have #woisodm to know  what and when to keep items confidential and not spill the beans.

Transparency is for both positive and negative situations.  Its a muscle we have to build.

In this episode I share the 4 levels of #accountability. and provide some tips for leaders who want to promote accountability in the workplace.

Leaders called  to be accountable especially when things go wrong..

Sometimes the responses to the call indicate that leaders don’t quite understand what accountability means.

Leaders are great at taking responsibility. They are great at fulfilling their ongoing duty to complete the task at hand directly or indirectly.  That is the end of responsibility.

Accountability is what happens after a situation occurs. It refers to the leader's response and her/ his ability to take ownership of the results of a task

So quick way to remember. I am responsible for completing the task, I am accountable for the outcome of the task and I take ownership of all that follows after

Leaders have a responsibility for the tone of the organisation and do this via code of ethics and standards. Sadly the behaviours and actions that are allowed in the organisation do not always reflect the intention of these words. 

Leaders when we allow jokes that discriminate about gender, race, identity sexuality or any topic that is derogatory in nature, it says something about our organisation and a lot about our leadership.

Harassment has no place in our organisations.

Change often comes with the dissatisfaction of the status quo. Leader what do you want to change in your organisation?

Post COVID most of us were forced to review our business models and ask ourselves what is the way forward,

There is no one answer, since what is missing in your organisation may be different from what is missing in mine.

This is the invitation for all leaders. The simplest thing to ask is what is missing from this organisation and then provide it.

This last week was even more difficult that the previous week I cried I was hurt, I was angry and I was hopeful

Whenever I am overwhelmed by multiple emotions, I ask myself what can I learn what I can share with others so that they can have a reframe of the situation.
