In partnership with The Department of the Interior University, Roger Connors and Tom Smith will present The Taking Personal Accountability Track Training, which is based on The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Amazon.com Bestselling book, The Oz Principle: Getting Results Through Individual and Organizational Accountability.

The Executive Office of the President has 1800 employees that support the President, First Lady. and the Vice President. These functions include the travel office, mailroom, security, IT, accounting, finance, budget, and facilities. All managers and directors of these functions have been trained. Employees are on-call 24/7, constantly dealing with urgent matters, and live in a world of high expectations for accuracy and follow-through. There is a common thread of loyalty, proficiency, and professionalism amongst them. As one IT manager said, “The President’s expectation is that his Blackberry will always be connected and our job is to ensure that.” Another manager said, “I always know where the President is and ensure travel plans are in coordination with his support team, security, and the military.”

The Taking Personal Accountability Track Training is used at the White House Executive Office of the President of the United States to increase efficiencies between functions and to prevent the tendency to focus on activity rather than achieving desired results. The common language of accountability is also helping the employees deal with work-life balance issues that are unique to their environment. Partners In Leadership is excited for this opportunity to support and strengthen The Executive Office of the President.
