Accountability Starts With You Are you a manager who struggles to get accountability right within your organization? Have you been faced with the need to hold someone accountable and either bulldozed your way through the encounter or talked yourself out of it with excuses like "I've already tried that," or "It's too risky"? If you've ever done a poor job of holding others accountable, this book can help you feel more comfortable with how you gain ownership from employees. Own Up! addresses the big myths, everyday hesitations, and all the other stories we tell ourselves about what it means and how much time and effort it takes to create a culture of responsibility. Author Jennifer Thero Long's central insight is that lack of clarity around ownership is responsible for all the drama that accountability conversations (done poorly) entail. It's the drama, and not actual accountability, that demands our extra attention, time, and energy. To combat misunderstandings and self-defeating assumptions, she guides readers through a series of practical and immediately implementable steps for achieving accountability in any situation. Own Up! shows how clarifying ownership¿of expectations on the one hand and duties on the other¿is the key activity by which accountability is established and maintained. Accountability done well takes very little time and energy, and its results include immediate gain in employee performance and execution, reduced work and workarounds, increased trust between individuals, and greater employee reliability.

MARKETING TEAMS ARE THE CREATIVE HEARTS OF ORGANIZATIONS. We bring products to life and connect them to living, breathing customers. Without us, our companies would crash and burn. And yet it often seems we don¿t get the respect¿or the budgets¿we deserve. Where is the love? The reason our companies don¿t love us is that they see us as cost centers rather than revenue centers. So how do we change that perception (and that reality)? How do we become provable, dependable sources of revenue? By changing our relationship with our customers. By turning them into raving advocates and long-term clients. We need to stop viewing customers through the lens of the traditional sales funnel. F the Funnel offers us a new model for thinking about the entire customer acquisition cycle¿the Loop¿which focuses on building relationships of trust rather than closing sales in a one-off way.

MAKE A VOW TO GOOD HEALTH How much time each year do you spend interacting with a doctor? A vast majority of people spend less than 1 percent of their time in clinical interactions. While clinical care is certainly vital, it affects only 30 percent of our overall health status. So, why not do better acknowledging the drivers of the other 70 percent of total health and well-being where we spend 99 percent of our time? We deserve a healthcare system that systematically supports our daily living needs to complement clinical care. Not Just in Sickness ... But Also in Health details how we can create the next generation of benefit plans, including an intelligent ecosystem of personalized resources, capable of supporting how each person can achieve and sustain their optimal health.Drawing on his decades of experience, Margolis explains how existing healthcare industry players, technology companies, and government can enact a systematic consumer-centric approach to move the United States and the world from a system of sickcare to one of health optimization for all.
