Advice to Senior Management

The best way to develop leadership and accountability is to make Commissioners, Directors, Managers and everyone accountable for their actions. This means you need 1 person responsible, a real target or level of achievement expected and a real consequence of failure. The exact opposite of this is a committee that has goals and timelines that change based on the most recent updates and circumstances and everyone gets a raise no matter how ineffective the exercise. It should be expected to see around 2 to 5% of employees receive no wage increases due to ineffective task completion.
