In a leadership workshop, we asked the European management team of a large pharmaceutical company we worked with what the top result was that they needed to achieve. They told us it was “BUC,” which stood for Business Unit Contribution. We asked the team, “what’s the number?” Everyone went silent. No one wanted to say. We asked them to write down the number on a piece of paper and pass it to the CFO in the back of the room. There was a $300 million dollar variance between the high number and the low number; and that was the senior management team! You can’t hold either yourself or others accountable for unclear results. Well, you can; but it will destroy morale and stop your progress. And you can’t hold yourself accountable for unclear results. Accountability begins by clearly defining results and that always yields alignment, engagement and achievement.
