In this episode, Paul Batz and Kevin Sensenig offer a first look at the Healthy Accountability preview eBook launching May 22. They explain why the preview eBook was created, what readers can expect inside, including stories from CEOs, key research findings, and the new definition of Healthy Accountability, and how it sets the stage for the full book coming this fall. If you're curious about how real leaders are rethinking accountability to promote growth, clarity, and momentum, this episode is your guided introduction.

Just hours after the April 2025 Good Leadership Breakfast, Paul Batz sits down with Sarah Waite, Chief People Officer at Second Harvest Heartland, to reflect on what made the morning so impactful. With her CEO, Allison O'Toole, as the featured speaker, Sarah shares her personal takeaways, thoughts on the Moonshot Strategy, and how Healthy Accountability is showing up inside their organization. This conversation is a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when leaders lean into vulnerability, vision, and culture change and how goodness continues to grow from the inside out.

Accountability thrives when teams are clear, connected, and committed. In this episode, Paul Batz and Kevin Sensenig explore the “Teams Committed to Disciplined Follow-Through” element of the Pathway to Healthy Accountability.Drawing on original research from Good Leadership, they unpack three key drivers of healthy team accountability: shared commitments to invest in one another's success, clear roles and responsibilities, and consistent communication loops known as inspection cycles. Listen in for practical insights that reframes accountability as a shared strength—not a struggle.

Accountability in the workplace is often seen as elusive—something leaders want but struggle to foster. The accountability research from Good Leadership has uncovered a critical insight: shared accountability doesn't work. When everyone is responsible, no one truly is. In this episode, Kevin Sensenig and Paul Batz explore the element of the Pathway to Healthy Accountability, "Individuals Seek Accountability," and why individuals, not groups, must seek accountability for teams to thrive. The discussion breaks down three key drivers—ownership, impact, and growth—that help employees embrace accountability as a positive force rather than a punitive measure. The episode challenges workplace myths, introduces the One Pilot Metaphor, and provides insights into how leaders can cultivate a culture where accountability fuels success. Listen now to reframe accountability as an opportunity—not an obligation.

In this episode of The Good Leadership Podcast, Paul Batz and Kevin Sensenig explore a powerful leadership lesson: only one pilot lands the plane. When a billion-dollar company lost a game-changing opportunity due to unclear accountability, its CEO had a revelation—while responsibility can be shared, accountability must be clear. Paul and Kevin discuss how healthy accountability is proactive, modeled by leaders, and built into organizational systems to ensure success. Tune in to learn how to move from reactive blame to a culture where people take ownership and win together.

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. So take some personal responsibility to listen as Scott and I welcome best-selling author and leadership coach, Paul Batz to discuss Building a Culture of Healthy Accountability on Episode 633 of the Winning at Selling podcast.

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.
