From the world’s leading experts on workplace accountability comes the most comprehensive study on the subject, revealing the cure that could fix low employee engagement in the workplace once and for all
One factor, more than any other, causes the problems business leaders fear most. Lackluster performance, sinking profits, and unmet stockholder expectations all stem from one source: a massive decline in em­ployee engagement. Rather than blaming employees themselves for the decline, however, the Workplace Accountability Study reveals how to fix it: the secret lies with those who lead and manage our organiza­tions. To inspire employees to be fully engaged, men­tally and emotionally, in their work, leaders must first and foremost fix accountability—in themselves, their teams, and the entire enterprise.
 
But how? To answer that question, Roger Con­nors and Tom Smith—cofounders of Partners In Leadership, the Accountability Training and Culture Change Company, and the authors of the New York Times bestseller The Oz Principle, the definitive bible on workplace accountability—have joined forces with three expert field practitioners. The resulting book not only presents eye-opening insights drawn from the authors’ three-year, first-of-its-kind Workplace Accountability Study, it also offers 240 proven solu­tions advanced by 120 successful leaders interviewed exclusively for this book. Their combined wisdom can help you solve every conceivable accountability prob­lem, whenever and wherever it pops up.
 
Since one size does not fit all in today’s chal­lenging business environment, this official sequel to The Oz Principle provides an innovative, self-directed journey into accountability that enables you to tailor solutions to your own unique situation. Fix It tack­les the 16 Accountability Traits consistently found in highly accountable, effective people, teams, and organizations, and it guides you to the ones you need to fix right now.
 
 You will design your personally tailored path through the book:
1.     In Part 1, you create your Fix It Bucket List by taking the three-minute Fix It Assessment.
2.     In Part 2, you spend fifteen minutes reading about the Accountability Trait in question.
3.     In Part 3, you explore several tried-and-true solu­tions that will work for you, your team, or your entire organization.
 
Fix It is destined to become an indispensable leadership and management resource for resolving any pressing problem in your organization. Whatever you need, from more accountability and ownership to greater engage­ment and leadership, this book will help you get the results you need. For more information, visit: www.fixit-book.com

      According to a recent Gallup poll, nearly 70 percent of American workers feel disengaged in their jobs, and the authors contend that fixing accountability is the best solution to engagement problems. Connors and Smith conducted The Partners in Leadership Workplace Accountability Study to provide an understanding of the 16 accountability traits they see as necessary for running a successful business; and the book offers 240 proven solutions to accountability problems from 120 high-level executives. Practical advice based on those traits includes See It (understanding how things really are); Own It (being personally invested); Solve It (removing obstacles to get results); and Do It (getting things done). Part 1 is an assessment that helps readers determine where (in focusing upon themselves personally, focusing upon their teams, or focusing upon their organizations) they need to Fix It. Part 2 is an introduction to the accountability traits and the results of the study, and part 3 provides practical solutions to immediately implement what needs improvement. This challenging book offers important insight and valuable solutions for leaders.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
