The 85% Solution: How Personal Accountability Guarantees Success…No Nonsense, No Excuses
A guide to personal accountability - the fundamental key to professional success
- Offers a practical guide to personal accountability and reveals how this leads to personal and business success
- Guides readers to take the risks and actions to reach their goals
With the toughest economic downturn in recent history, the issue of accountability has taken center stage. However, accountability is often confused with punishment, fault, blame and guilt. In this book, the author argues that the only true accountability is "personal accountability," and the only way to achieve it is to take responsibility for the outcomes of your choices, behaviors and actions.
The 85% Solution reveals that to be truly accountable, you must:
- accept no less than 85% of the responsibility for the outcomes of your actions
- empower yourself to take the risks and actions necessary in order to get what you want
- show you are willing to answer for the outcomes that result from your choices and actions.
