6 Benefits of Accountability for Increased Business Success

 

Accountability, which is an important element of the workplace, requires both internal control and external support.  In order to achieve peak levels of performance, external accountability is necessary.  Being an accountable employee, which is what a business owner wants, demonstrates dedication to the job and higher levels of workplace satisfaction.  It also contributes to a higher level of innovation with an increased interest in the company’s success.

 

At work, accountability translates to initiative and ownership.  An accountable employee takes responsibility for their actions and the results and is not quick to point to management when things go wrong.  People who are accountable are on time for work and meetings, complete projects on time, and go the extra mile when they are able to. These are all great qualities a business owner should be looking for in an employee.

 

There are many benefits to having an accountability culture in your firm. Here are six benefits you receive when you implement accountability in your firm.

 

1. Encourages Follow-Through

 

It is easy to fall off track when trying to reach a goal, or experience points of lower motivation.  If you have set goals for yourself in the past and forgot about them within a few days, weeks, or even months you need a higher level of accountability to see them through.  Accountability means you don’t feel satisfied until the job is completed correctly, and, ideally, on time.  

 

2. Goals Clarity

 

Long-term goals can get lost in the shuffle of everyday work life.  Defining your goals and an action plan that supports them, gives you clarity as to what you want and why you want it.  When you hold yourself accountable to these goals, you eliminate the excuses as to why the plan is not being adhered to.  

 

3. Creates Deadlines

 

Planning plays an important role when setting goals and completing tasks.  Without action tasks with specific deadlines, getting a goal completed on time will be extremely difficult.  There is a better chance that you will meet a deadline when you make them public, including to your accountability partner(s).  Private deadlines can be ignored or changed too easily.  

 

4. Prevents Large Problems

 

There will always be challenges and setbacks to every goal.  An outside person or people will often be able to see areas that might cause problems that you might not see because you are so vested in it.  Having someone point out a small issue before it sets you off track with your progress is something you cannot handle on your own. 

 

5. Builds Confidence

 

Ever have a low motivation workday and felt your self-esteem was low too?  They work hand in hand.  When you are accountable for your tasks and activities, your self-esteem grows.  Personal satisfaction of getting work completed builds confidence and gives you the motivation and inspiration to continue with the work.  

 

6. Keeps You Laser Focused  

 

Staying the course day in and day out can be a challenge.  Being accountable enables you to focus on taking action on both your daily tasks and your end goals.  Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in what is going to happen in the long term.  Being accountable helps you see the short-term also by encouraging you to keep working on the smaller tasks and activities.  It means that you will remain engaged in your work, so that you have the highest probability to see it through.  

 

Did you know that you’re 95% more likely to achieve a goal when you commit to someone else?

 

How to Increase Accountability

 

If you are having trouble staying accountable, there are a few ways to work on increasing it.  First, you have to become self-aware to be able to take account of your emotions about work.  Once you become self-aware, your actions will be conscious ones instead of just going through the daily motions of work.  The way to become more self-aware is to reflect on your actions and thoughts.  The more you practice self-awareness, the more responsible you will become for your actions.  

 

Set your expectations and objectives on those outstanding tasks daily--don’t wait until Friday at 3pm to review your list of what needs to be done.  A good practice to start is reviewing your task list at the same time every day, so you don’t forget to check in. Putting time in your calendar will help you get into a good habit with this. 

 

For information on time blocking your calendar for maximum effectiveness, check out an article I wrote by going to https://bit.ly/Time_Blocking

 

Use the SMART method for setting your goals:  Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.  This type of goal setting will help with your accountability level.  Communicate with yourself and your accountability partner(s), if you have one, on your progress.  Follow up often on issues or challenges you might be encountering in your daily task list.  

 

With dedication to being accountable, you will find that you are even more productive every day and the ability to focus on your goals becomes even easier.  Your reputation both internally at work and to outside clients, will benefit as well.
