No more blame games, "it's not my job" attitudes or finger-pointing. Managers will learn how to empower employees to take responsibility!

Help your employees experience the satisfaction of taking ownership, not just of their jobs, but of the organization as a whole. Establish a culture of accountability in which all employees, from the CEO to entry-level employees, accept responsibility for their own success and for their role in the success of the entire organization.

You've experienced the frustration and irritation of dealing with emotionally detached employees who are not invested in the organization's bottom line. These staffers show up at the last possible minute, do the bare minimum, and head home the second the clock hits quitting time. Next thing you know, the employees you wish you could clone - the core group that works hard and takes full responsibility for every decision - gets infected with the "negativity virus" and morale plummets.

Stop the negativity before it brings down productivity and morale!
