One of my favorite productivity books ever is one called The 12 Week Year: How to Get More Done in 12 Weeks Than Others Do in 12 Months by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington.
Though I didn’t get a chance to interview them about that book when it came out, I was delighted when a publicist reached out to me recently about interviewing about their brand new book!
It’s called Uncommon Accountability: A Radical New Approach to Greater Success and Fulfillment.
In it, Brian and Michael compellingly argue for a positive and affirming conception of accountability—one that stands for personal ownership of one’s goals, actions, and progress.
They show you how to harness the power of accountability, with all of its built-in potential to enable growth and learning, improve well-being, reduce stress, and drive results.
Whether you are an individual looking to better your career, increase your income of improve your relationships, or a leader trying to inspire your team to accomplish what they are capable of, this book will show you how to powerfully shift your view of accountability and dramatically improve your results, and your life.
