Balanced Accountability: 3 Leadership Secrets to Win Hearts and Maximize Performance by Hernani Alves
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Balanced Accountability: 3 Leadership Secrets to Win Hearts and Maximize Performance by Hernani Alves is a great business book that captures what leaders need to know and do to motivate their team to help them succeed. The way the book opens with a personal history of how the author's father made him accountable, when Hernani failed to milk cow No. 1 is simply charming, yet very important to the tone and tenor of the book. Accountability is in the forefront, leading to better character, and most importantly taking responsibility for your efforts and actions. Most businesses want an atmosphere with open communication, honest collaboration, low turnover, and maximum performance, but few achieve all of these lofty goals. This book is a road map to achieve those things in your own business, because as the author states, "Because our employees copy us, we need to hold ourselves accountable before we can do the same for them. We need to make ourselves better, so we can lead by example." How you lead affects how your employees perform and follow, whether good or bad. Highly recommend for a fantastic book with a powerful message about leadership and growing a positive organization.
