Chapter 8 shows you how to talk straight responsibly and manage sen-
sitive issues rather than allowing them to fester and undermine perfor-
mance. This chapter provides you with the skill sets needed to resolve
relationship issues and build a committed partnership where all parties
share an urgent and focused commitment to delivering business results.
Chapter 9 takes us to the heart of high performance—authentic and
sustainable alignment. In this chapter, we explore what is required to
achieve both emotional and intellectual buy-in. You will learn why group
decisions don’t stick and what you can do to achieve authentic and sus-
tainable alignment that turns your business strategy into focused delivery.
Chapter 10 focuses on holding one another accountable for the best
in performance. Here we discuss how a culture of 100% accountability is
self-correcting, where people constructively interevene and hold them-
selves and others accountable for both business results and their impact
on people.
Finally, Chapter 11 culminates with the pervasive message of fearless
leadership: you have the power to influence change and shape the future.
This chapter focuses on what you can do right now to achieve the results
you want. It brings together how committed partnerships and 100%
accountability are the indispensable keys to sustainable leadership and
organizational transformation.
