His focus was on "Getting Results Through Individual & Organizational Accountability" and covered the following four key principles: 1) How people and organizations can overcome victim attitudes and behavior and step "Above The Line" to attain superior performance; 2) How to focus on the fundamental cause of poor leadership, low productivity, unacceptable quality, customer dissatisfaction, inadequate innovation, wasted talent, dysfunctional teams or a general lack of accountability; 3) How to move beyond explaining why you didn’t or can’t do better to what you can do to make your future brighter; and 4) How to improve performance through accountability.

I hope you felt the event was worth your investment and that you have used the information back at your agency. IPRA’s hope is that the event served as the start to a new beginning and the commitment to develop a culture of "above the line" behavior. Together we can "see it," "own it," "solve it," and "do it" to make each community stronger.
