Workplace Accountability: How Effective Managers Create a Culture of OwnershipThe Business LockerRoom
Every company would love for its employees to demonstrate accountability; to take ownership of their work. However, despite their best efforts, few companies understand what it takes to create and sustain a culture of accountability. This presentation will presents the basic components of a methodology for creating workplace accountability.
Executives tend to believe that being accountable is a trait you either have or don't have by the time you enter the workforce. In other words, "It's the person." Is it possible, however, that it could also be the environment? Could executives be unwittingly creating conditions that make it harder for employees to be accountable?
How Leaders Create Accountability reveals the latest research around what levers CEO's and other executives can pull to infuse accountability into the fabric of their organization's culture to get the right behaviours, and the right results, more often.

OKRs: How Google Achieves Company Goals Weekdone.com
John Doerr, one of the advocates for Objectives and Key Results, has said:“I remember being intrigued with the idea of having a beacon or north star every quarter, which helped set my priorities. It was also incredibly powerful for me to see Andy’s OKRs, my manager’s OKRs and the OKRs for my peers. I was quickly able to tie my work directly to the company’s goals. I kept my OKRs pinned up in my office and I wrote new OKRs every quarter, and the system has stayed with me ever since.“
OKRs is a easy process of setting company, team and personal goals and connecting each goal with 3-4 measurable results. As you achieve those results, the whole objective gets marked done.
OKRs, on a personal, team's and company level make up a system that shows how everything one person does connects to the work of others.

Data Visualization is nothing new. In fact, the power of visualization has been written about by business experts for decades. What's changed is the distribution. Today businesses can collaborate with teams spread around the world in real time. A recent project with a customer who wishes to be anonymous uncovered that many businesses are starting to use video to quickly share important data about their companies.
Leveraging internal communications platforms such as Google for Business, Microsoft Office 365, Slack or Facebook Workplace is the perfect way to communicate with teams in the modern age. Using video to produce brief data-driven business updates in a smart and concise manner is a truly scalable way to save your organization time while staying up to date on the most crucial information.
Sharing information inside an organization has never been easier, but sending out excel sheets via email simply is not enough. Creating a professional easy to digest data visualization video is a proven method for spreading knowledge effectively within your organization. A recent Harris Interactive poll of over 23,000 employees revealed that 37 percent of employees in key industries did not understand their companies priorities. Only one in five employees were enthusiastic about their organization’s goals and only one in five saw a clear connection between their tasks and their organization’s goals.

3 Proven Methods to Optimize Your 2018 Strategy and Goals through Culture and...Paige Pulaski
Change management is done through culture. Understanding the strengths of your human capital is imperative to fully implementing a plan and expecting successful execution. As you’re investing time, energy and budget into planning for 2018, you should be asking questions such as, “Do our current employees have the right skills? Do we have the right people in the right roles? If not, how do we remove these barriers?”
You’re checking the most important box – getting a plan in place that, when executed, will propel your organization to the next level. However, many organizations are failing to run the proper diagnostic before implementation to make sure all your assumptions are, in fact, true and in working order. Optimizing your plan is imperative, but execution in 2018 looks bleak without optimizing your workforce first.
In this webinar recording, Tanya Bakalov of BetterSkills, Inc. discusses how to achieve the most success with your plans for 2018 by giving three ways to fully assess the teams you’re trusting to execute.
You will learn how to:
>> Gauge the “do-ability” of your plan with your organization’s current skills
>> Delegate initiative assignments to use each employee in their best capacity
>> Motivate employees to be agents of change and dedicated to your organization’s success

30 Rules to Follow for an Effective Team MeetingWeekdone.com
Most professionals waste almost 3.8 hours a week on unproductive, poorly prepared meetings. We need a solution.
Weekdone (https://weekdone.com) built a fun free interactive meeting assistant Team Meeting Checklist (http://teammeetingchecklist.com) that helps save time and increase focus on these time consuming meetings.
Taking together different researches we came up with a list of guidelines that offer a pretty clear glimpse to how an effective team meeting should look like. Going through the list one by one might be time-consuming, which is why we built the interactive version of the list called Team Meeting Checklist.
Quoting ArcticStartup: "Real secret ingredient of the meeting manager lies in the checklist, or the list of 25 criteria, which, according to Weekdone, takes no more than 5 minutes to go through (while potentially saving several working hours that would've otherwise been lost due to crappy meeting orchestration)".
The idea behind Team Meeting Checklist is simple: before each gathering, the team leader takes 5 minutes to go through the checklist and create a meeting invite including the most crucial details. The system will send an automatically compiled email to all participants, summarizing details and ground rules for the upcoming meeting. This simple solution acts as a meeting reminder for the participants and social pressure tool to honor the effective meeting criteria for the leader. Furthermore, it provides a fantastic base for giving feedback and reflecting on the progress.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
