Staff Matters answers these questions by pulling back the curtain on the hard truths and offering solutions to the workplace’s toughest challenges.

They provide friction forensics to help listeners identify where to avert and repair bad friction, and where to maintain and inject good friction.

In this book, Susanne Trimbath gives a sobering account of naked short-selling, the failure to settle, and her efforts over decades trying to get this fixed. This is a cautionary tale.

“Accountability is the glue that ties commitment to the result." This quote, from author Bob Proctor, illustrates perfectly the key role accountability plays in personal and organizational success. But it begs the question: If accountability brings results then how do I ensure it in my own life? It feels like nobody is accountable today.
