Get ready to enter the Drive Time Show.

We're talking today about management 101 and how to create a culture of accountability.

Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE, who once grew the company by 4,000% once wrote,

you can't manage like a socialist. He says, you can't manage like a socialist and a capitalist economy,

protecting underperformers always backfires.

The worst thing, though, is how protecting people who don't perform hurts the people themselves.

So I am going to queue up an audio excerpt from one of our employees who actually is living what we're teaching.

We talk a lot about holding people accountable, but this person actually is held accountable.

So I'm going to queue up an audio, a little audio interview, an audio clip from an interview with one of our employees by the name of Victoria.

She started off making cold calls in the call center and then worked her way up to doing search engine optimization and is now a business coach who's been with us for about two and a half going on three years.

So I'm going to play for you what accountability sounds like and then we're going to go through the specific steps that you need to take to create a culture of accountability.

But when you get to the end of the proverbial yellow brick road of management, this is what accountability sounds like.

My name is Victoria Woods and I am a business coach with the Thrive Time Show.

My experience working at the Thrive Time Show has been nothing short of amazing.

I've been here for over two years now and I'm still learning new things every day that I can apply not only in work, but in my personal life as well.

There are tons of things that make working at the Thrive Time Show different from your typical nine to five.

Two of the main reasons that I love it so much are one, the opportunities that I have to grow my skillset and learn new things.

The other thing is that everybody is genuinely happy to work here.

I would describe the atmosphere at the Thrive Time Show as extremely positive, very uplifting and motivating.

It's where you want to come to get stuff done.

I would say that the most challenging part about working at the Thrive Time Show is just constantly being pushed outside of my comfort zone, even if it's for my own benefit.

One of the biggest things that I've learned while working at the Thrive Time Show is not only how to set and achieve my own personal goals, but how to help my clients achieve their goals as well.
