One of the greatest frustrations of being a private practice owner is working with staff who lack accountability. Meaning, they failed to do what they knew was expected of them or they failed to follow through with what they said they were going to do. In both of these instances, the employee fully understands that it is their responsibility to complete a particular task, and yet they choose to not complete it. Why is this? Why is it that some people rise to the occasion and hit their targets with great pride, while others are not bothered by incomplete tasks? It all comes down to accountability, and staff accountability comes from leadership.
