Do you hear this sort of thing?

Why do we have to go through all this change?
When is someone going to train me?
Who did that? Who dropped the ball?
When is that department going to do its job right?
Who's going to solve the problem?
Who's going to set my objectives for me?
They don't give me any feedback?

When people start taking personal accountability they will ask questions like:

How can I adapt to a changing world?
What can I do to develop myself?
What can I do to confirm what's expected of me?
How can I get more feedback from my customers?
How can I help?
What can I do to help that department work better?
What can I do to understand other people's challenges and frustrations?
How can I become part of the solution?

A challenge for you. Just listen to what people say in your organistaion over the next few days and make a mental note of the sort of language they use.
