Accountability in the workplace is often seen as elusive—something leaders want but struggle to foster.

This week, we revisit our interview with Paul Batz, the CEO and Founder of Good Leadership Enterprises. Paul Batz has ushered in the golden era of executive team coaching, changing the conversation about what modern leadership looks like. He founded Good Leadership to help CEOs, business owners, executives, and community leaders grow and thrive with the idea that goodness pays. Paul's not-so-secret sauce teaches how alignment, commitment, and open accountability within teams are rewarded with great business results.   Paul's personal mission is to help teams weave goodness into their work, achieving more together than they ever could alone. He uses goodness as the subject for team coaching, training, speaking, and inspirational programming. The movement began when the Good Leadership Breakfast Series took off like a rocket. Since 2010, more than 30,000 guests have attended what is now the hottest leadership development networking breakfast series in the Midwest. In 2017, Paul started Good Leadership Press, a publishing label that produces positive books and tools to help good leaders create great results in their personal and professional lives.   Paul is blending the Seven Fs with his business partner and wife Melinda and their three adult children who all touch the business. He is hopelessly addicted to golf, an Elton John wannabee piano player, a philanthropist, and he loves hosting dinner parties at their home in Bloomington, MN.

The great coach John Wooden said, “True leaders accept responsibility for the outcomes of their decisions and actions.” And leadership expert, John Maxwell stated that, “A leader who doesn't take accountability for their actions is like a ship without a captain.” While we know that accountability is important, we don't always know how to make it the cultural norm in our organizations.

Paul Batz is the CEO/Founder of Good Leadership and the author of How Goodness Pays. In today’s show, he chats with hosts Todd Schnick and Mike Wood about the 7 Fs, creating a culture of goodness and how teams come together in a crisis. The 7 FsPaul defines goodness as creating an environment where people thrive together in a culture of encouragement, accountability, and positive teamwork. As a leader, it’s your job to help your team succeed personally and professionally. Paul uses the 7 Fs wheel in his coaching business to illustrate a successful life. The 7 Fs are:FaithFamilyFinancesFitnessFriendsFunFutureHe believes that we can grow in any one of these areas as much, or more, at work as we would at home.  FaithTodd asks why faith is such a critical element since it is not usually something you think about when discussing work. Paul says that it's a myth that the faith conversation doesn't belong in the workplace. Faith, in the context of goodness in leadership, recognizes the connection between mind, body and spirit. When things get difficult, it's natural to think about faith. When we open our hearts to faith, people come together, learn from each other, and begin the thriving process. On the other hand, if employees don't see their leaders as faith-worthy or as having a moral compass, they would not believe that the organization would do the right thing during a crisis. Coming Together in a CrisisThe opposite of goodness is not greed and evil.  Paul says that it is actually Superhero Leadership and short-term thinking. While superhero leadership is glorified in the media, in real life, no-one wants to be rescued. The teams that decide to stick together during a crisis come out better. People who care about each other will create unprecedented teamwork because of a crisis.  Creating a Culture of GoodnessThere are four cornerstones on which you build a culture of goodness. These are:Excellence GenerosityFairnessPositivityEven if you work in an organization where you don't see goodness, you have an obligation to decide that fairness is going to come through you, even if it does not come to you. You may have to accept the responsibility that goodness starts with you. Anyone can take it upon themselves to radiate goodness and make sure they bring out to the goodness in other people.
