The Accountability Advantage™ … Building a Sustainable, High-Performance, Workplace Culture

What does it look like when EVERY member of your organization keeps their commitments? When truth and values are held in the highest esteem? It looks like next-level success. It feels like positive momentum. It lays the foundation for creativity, collaboration and high performance.

Sam knows first-hand how to create a corporate culture that empowers employees, maximizes productivity, builds brand, and inspires accountability. You’ll walk away from his program with highly effective tools to build trust, enhance engagement, cultivate more meaningful relationships, and truly come together as a cohesive team. There’s never been a more important time to create a shift in culture and commitment.

During this program, participants will learn how to:

  • Discover the five critical steps to build a culture-by-design versus a culture-by-default
  • Leverage the power of your organizational commitments and values – internally, externally, and communally
  • Effectively counteract negative trends like "Quiet Quitting" and "The Great Resignation"
  • Remove obstacles and excuses from your teams to improve communication and inspire collaboration
  • Create an organizational culture obsession that will empower all levels of the organization to a stronger performance and customer experience

 

The Theory of AccountabilityTM

This engaging program forces a reconsideration of how we view accountability. As Silverstein explains, “Accountability is not a way of doing. Accountability is a way of thinking about people. Particularly how we think about people.” When individuals and leaders actively create the future they want to live, frame their mindset around abundance rather than fear, and take persistent, relentless action in support of the experience they are generating, their beliefs, and their relationships, they will experience personal and organizational transformation unlike any other.

During this program, participants will learn how to:

  • Identify the three mindsets of accountability and how to apply them personally and organizationally
  • Create a specific outcome/goal and achieve it every time
  • Empower a team to identify priorities, eliminate obstacles, and enhance communication
  • Discover and leverage the enormous power of commitments both individually and at all levels of the organization

 

The Power of Keeping Commitments…No Matter What™

Sam Silverstein has helped organizations around the world build more resilient leaders, employees, and organizations. Sam will engage your people to understand the importance of building strength from the inside out. All organizations face challenges, but it's the most adaptable and resilient organizations who are able to effectively work through the challenges to consistently build a stronger & brighter future.

A mindset of resilience does not just happen by itself. Resilience is built into the corporate culture. Resilience becomes the standard for which you are known when a strong set of values are created and established throughout the organization. Sam will lead the conversation on what creates resilience, how all your people will benefit both individually and collectivley by forging a culture of trust, collaboration, and resilience to operate from.

I Am Accountable

It’s time to show excuses the door. Whether at work or at home, people often make excuses out of over-commitment, lack of understanding, or poor time management. In a world where there are more resources available than ever before – it’s time to get to the bottom line. Ultimately, they make excuses by focusing on what they cannot control instead of focusing on what they can control.

As the founder of the Accountability Movement™, Sam brilliantly lays out the relationship between what we value and what we can control and illuminates the strategies, mindsets, and tools necessary to eliminate excuses from our personal and professional lives. Accountability is a way of thinking. It is how we think about ourselves and others.

  • Connect your values to the art of living an accountable life
  • Improve your relationships through keeping commitments
  • Eliminate excuses that hold you back from their potential

 

The Accountable Leader's Guide to Change

Change is an integral part of our world. The ability to get ahead of it, manage it, or initiate it for any organization falls squarely on the shoulders of leadership. Focusing on what people do won’t cut it anymore. Truly accountable leaders instead turn their focus on changing the way people THINK.

Sam brings audiences together to best understand what a powerful catalyst change can be for positively growing business, redefining relationships, and letting go of the status quo. Leaders who meet change head on and make it their partner, drive momentum and deliver results.

During this program, participants will learn how to:

  • Identify the “Change Categories” all people fall into and how to motivate each person successfully
  • Communicate more purposefully utilizing The Terms of Change™
  • Empower your team to drive positive change versus resist/fear change
  • Master the one thing organizations must believe if they are going to effectively create an organizational culture that thrives through change



Collaboration That Counts: How to Foster a Culture of Trust and Teamwork in Your Organization

Great teamwork and execution does not just happen by itself. Teamwork is built into the corporate culture. Teamwork becomes the standard for which you are known when a strong set of values are created and established throughout the organization. Another foundational element of great teamwork is the ability to identify the commitments that all members of the organization make and keep. 

Sam Silverstein has helped organizations around the world build more effective teams that have led to a measurable increase in communication, collaboration, innovation, and bottom-line results.

In this talk, Sam Silverstein uniquely illustrates the difference between tactical and relational commitments and knows just how to get your people focused on executing what really matters.

Sam teaches healthcare professionals from every level to take ownership and commit to their organizational mission and values and how to weave them throughout every facet of their culture, clinical processes, patient care, and communication.
