Compassionate Accountability How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results

This book is a compass for leaders lost in the paradoxical space between showing people compassion and holding them accountable.

Compassion and accountability have generally been considered at odds with each other in the management space. Solely prioritizing accountability can create toxic work environments that result in the loss of top talent. On the other end of the pendulum, being overly compassionate leaves a vacuum around attention to results.

The solution is Compassionate Accountability, recognizing that these two concepts are actually in a duet, not a competition. This book is the timely answer to how this foundational set of principles and practices can lead to a thriving organizational culture. It covers such topics as:

• The evolution of compassion in the workplace
• Why compassion and accountability are complementary
• How to engage the compassion mindset
• Building a culture of compassionate accountability
• Overcoming barriers to compassion for leaders

Finding harmony between compassion and accountability leads to improved results and a thriving culture because the fact is, true compassion can’t exist without accountability. Leaders seeking a renewed sense of fulfillment in their roles and increased leadership impact will find inspiration, guidance, and a roadmap for cultural transformation.
