Accountability To Improve Sales Success with Connie Whitman (episode 365)

"Accountability, the ability of people to understand what is expected of them, exercise authority, and take responsibility for delivering results, is an important dimension of organizational health." – Michael Bazigos

What does accountability mean to you?

I remember my first client from 25 years ago. We were creating a dynamic client journey culture focusing on being a community partner, new business development, and career growth within the company.

After 2 years of working to build this culture, we were approaching the end of my work with them. During the two years, we created rinse-and-repeat sales and business development processes. We implemented tools to measure and reports for leaders to evaluate and leverage for effective coaching conversations.

I met with the COO to discuss how he could continue to support the momentum and changes we had made in his marketplace using clear goals, coaching, and other measurements that his managers had embraced and loved using. He looked at me and said, "Well, I'm not going to assign goals because then we become pushy salespeople versus customer service."

Artificial intelligence is not a substitute for human intelligence; it is a tool to amplify human creativity and ingenuity." — Fei-Fei Li

Check Out These Highlights:

I love this quote. I keep hearing how AI is going to replace so many jobs, and perhaps even humans. I personally do not agree with this mindset and think today's conversation will be relevant for leaders navigating people and technology.

Today, my guest and I are going to explore what it means to lead with a people-first mindset in a fast-moving, tech-driven world. We will discuss practical ways to strengthen human connection, build trust, and inspire innovation while fully embracing modern technology. You will walk away with a clear, accessible guide to redefining leadership where human values and digital progress work hand in hand.
