Accountability Starts With You Are you a manager who struggles to get accountability right within your organization? Have you been faced with the need to hold someone accountable and either bulldozed your way through the encounter or talked yourself out of it with excuses like "I've already tried that," or "It's too risky"? If you've ever done a poor job of holding others accountable, this book can help you feel more comfortable with how you gain ownership from employees. Own Up! addresses the big myths, everyday hesitations, and all the other stories we tell ourselves about what it means and how much time and effort it takes to create a culture of responsibility. Author Jennifer Thero Long's central insight is that lack of clarity around ownership is responsible for all the drama that accountability conversations (done poorly) entail. It's the drama, and not actual accountability, that demands our extra attention, time, and energy. To combat misunderstandings and self-defeating assumptions, she guides readers through a series of practical and immediately implementable steps for achieving accountability in any situation. Own Up! shows how clarifying ownership¿of expectations on the one hand and duties on the other¿is the key activity by which accountability is established and maintained. Accountability done well takes very little time and energy, and its results include immediate gain in employee performance and execution, reduced work and workarounds, increased trust between individuals, and greater employee reliability.

MARKETING TEAMS ARE THE CREATIVE HEARTS OF ORGANIZATIONS. We bring products to life and connect them to living, breathing customers. Without us, our companies would crash and burn. And yet it often seems we don¿t get the respect¿or the budgets¿we deserve. Where is the love? The reason our companies don¿t love us is that they see us as cost centers rather than revenue centers. So how do we change that perception (and that reality)? How do we become provable, dependable sources of revenue? By changing our relationship with our customers. By turning them into raving advocates and long-term clients. We need to stop viewing customers through the lens of the traditional sales funnel. F the Funnel offers us a new model for thinking about the entire customer acquisition cycle¿the Loop¿which focuses on building relationships of trust rather than closing sales in a one-off way.
