Accountants have so many projects. So many tasks, and so
many DEADLINES! Sometimes we deliver
when we say we will. Sometimes we don't, and some people are a lot better at
this than others. The ability to execute and be dependable in your execution
affects everyone because accounting is a team sport.
One thing I'd really like to see more of .... A leader
acknowledging a simple occurrence. Somebody on their team said they would do
something by a certain time -- and they did it!
The acknowledgement does not have to be grand.
When is the last time someone delivered when they said they
would and you simply .... reminded them?
"Hey - You told me you would get
that report done by Friday and you did. Thanks I appreciate your on time
delivery."
And keep doing this. Don't stop. Reinforce the positive
behavior. Remind the other person that they simply did what they said they
would do. Watch what happens.
