From the Publisher
Four Building Blocks for Creating Highly Productive, Accountable, Strategically Aligned Organizations
Managerial systems are inherently accountability decision-making hierarchies, whereas partnerships, academic departments, churches, and governance entities are inherently political decision-making systems.
The leadership component of every manager’s role requires both setting direction and leveraging the potential of employees to achieve that direction, while simultaneously creating the maximum amount of value for the organization.
A basic principle for all managerial systems is that accountability without authority is fantasy and stress. Too often organizations fail to align authorities with accountabilities. This results in a great deal of noise and wasted energy.
Roles can be defined by the complexities of their work, their functions and processes, the nature of their work, and their working relationships. HR systems must both capture these role specifications and enable the assessment of employees’ capabilities to meet those requirements. Additionally, accountability without consequences is meaningless.
