BRX Pro Tip: Regular Accountability Meetings
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, you are a big fan, a real proponent, of regular accountability meeting. Say more about that.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:13] Yeah. I think it’s important, accountability is really a critical element on your growth of your company or your practice or whatever you’re working on. Holding yourself accountable, holding the team accountable, is really important. Because if you don’t, then things start slipping. You start tolerating kind of worse and worse behavior and worse and worse results, and then you’re not going to be able to grow. So, I think it’s important to have regular accountability meetings, no excuses. Where are we at? What’s getting in the way. What do we have to tweak? What’s going well? What should we be doing more of? What should we be doing less of? Ask those questions. Get the lay of the land. What’s real, not what you hope it to be.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:56] You might have gone into something with the best intentions. But if it’s not working, then stop doing it. If it is working, do more of it. And hold each other accountable without really kind of blaming. This shouldn’t be a blame game. This should be, “Look, this is working. This isn’t. I still love you. Everything’s still good. But we just got to be better.” And if you can do this predictably and reliably, you’re going to get better results in less time, as you like to say, Stone.
Stone Payton: [00:01:25] I do like to say that. And I think in these exchanges, it’s all about the what, why, and how. Leave the who out of the conversation. That’s almost irrelevant to your point about blame. And I do think you will consistently produce better results in less time if you can exercise the discipline to focus on the why and how in these conversations.
