Developing a Society of Accountability

Airports are wonderful [Warning: mysql_connect [? website   places to get surprised and meet up with some wonderful folks. All through couple events, I happen to fulfill handful of superstars, politicians, my former colleagues and bosses and at times I chanced on couple men and women who are linked with me on Social media marketing, including LinkedIn and Fb. That day while I used to be traveling from Pune to Delhi by Spicejet (SG 184), I occurred to fulfill Mihir Jaitley - the CEO of a primary multi-billion USD Vehicle Conglomerate. Before I'd achieved Mihir through couple of NHRDN along with other management seminars and conclaves. On the other hand, getting a chance to speak to an individual, that is as influential and successful businessman, as Mihir in the one-on-one dialogue at an airport can be a pretty distinctive experience than asking them a question through leadership conclaves. I was not very guaranteed if I need to go and say, "Hello" to him or just let this opportunity go. Lacking these kinds of a possibility might have been really idiotic on my aspect. So, I collected all my braveness and walked towards him.

"Hello Sir, I am Sanjeev. I've read you and satisfied you during couple leadership conclaves. Previous, I listened to you were in NHRDN conclave in Mumbai through 2014", I reported.

We raised our arms for your warm handshake.

"Hey, Sanjeev, it can be pleasant assembly you. How are you", he requested.

"I am good, Sir. Thanks. It is very nice to see you here", I responded.

"Sir, you may have unique thoughts regarding how HR can lead to the advancement of the business. Incredibly exclusive from other enterprise leaders", I continued.

"Thank you, Sanjeev. What would you do?" he enquired.

"Sir, I work as Impartial Administration Advisor for last 1.5 a long time. I support start-up ventures; compact and mid-size organizations in putting together HR Procedures & Procedures, as well as helping them improve the performance of their employees. I also help companies in preparing and grooming their new managers and coaching leaders for bigger roles. Before this, I've worked for 15 several years with handful of organizations across India and outside of India", I gave thorough reply even though extending my enterprise card to him.

"That's pretty impressive. I like the phrase that you used in your description, "help". Consultants don't give free assistance. They charge a lot of money", he replied with a sarcastic smile on his face, whilst extending his business card.

"Do you think anything can be done to improve the accountability of managers and leaders in an organizational set-up? Have you done anything in those lines", he requested curiously.

As we were discussing, Spicejet staff made an announcement for boarding the plan.

"Sir, poor accountability is not a concern of one group or an industry. It truly is there in all industries. I think the primary problem is not with managers or leaders but the way accountability has been defined. By definition, it appears like an attempt to fix the blame for a failure or crisis rather than giving an empowerment to concerned leaders to find a solution. When it comes to fixing the blame, many leaders are likely to surge it off", I gave an empathetic reply.
