Leading Accountable Teams as a First-Time CEO

As a CEO or business leader, one of the biggest challenges is getting your team to consistently perform at a high level—without you having to step in at every turn. But what does it really take to build a team that takes ownership, speaks up, and holds itself accountable?

In this engaging CEO Climb Event, Eric Coryell will guide you through a fresh perspective on leadership and team dynamics, tailored to the unique position of a first-time CEO. You’ll explore the mindset and habits that set the tone for your organization and learn how to lay the groundwork for a culture of accountability.

What you’ll learn:

How to approach leadership in a way that sets the stage for team success
Why “holding people accountable” is a myth—and what actually drives accountability
The five conditions every team needs in place before accountability can take root

Join fellow CEOs for this interactive session and walk away with practical strategies you can apply right away.
