Accountability : Freedom and Responsibility Without Control

Authors Rob Lebow and Randy Spitzer show how to transform a business by replacing the control and manipulation that typically characterize the workplace with personal accountability. The book helps readers determine the level of accountability that exists in a company, discusses the ""Seven S's of Accountability, "" and introduces the ""member citizen"" concept and the metaphor of the Wise Counsel -- a coach, mentor, and leader who functions as a resource, not a controller.

Rob Lebow author of the 1990 bestseller A Journey Into the Heroic Environment, which has sold over 220,000 copies, and coauthor Randy Spitzer have teamed up to create a how-to page-turner on a subject that is timely and important.

Rob Lebow has built an international organization that serves companies around the globe including FORD-Asia Pacific Operations, Pepsi Cola, IBM-Mid America Credit Union, US Food Service, ARAMCO Saudi Arabia, TRANE International, Goodyear Tyre-Australia, the US Government and literally hundreds of other operations. As a fast paced senior executive with Microsoft in the 1980s, Rob learned one of the important secrets to Microsoft’s early success. Bill Gates for all his faults and genius understood one thing with crystal clarity: Create an organization with personal accountability and you can change the world!
