WHY ARE SO MANY SMART PEOPLE
Our work is rooted in the behavioral science framework — The Responsibility Process®. This powerful framework is the world’s first proven how-to approach for understanding, teaching, and taking personal responsibility. It helps us apply our innate leadership ability to face and overcome any challenge. Operating in freedom, power, and choice, we encourage and support those we lead to do likewise.
OUR FOUNDATION
Purpose
Awakening innate freedom, choice, and power in people everywhere by helping them see how personal responsibility works in the mind to keep one stuck or propel one forward.
Vision
We envision a world where all leaders lead themselves with The Responsibility Process. It is the worlds #1 leadership tool.
That means The Responsibility Process poster hangs in every office, home, school, and church in the world, where people put it to use in their thoughts and actions.
Values
Our three guiding stars:
- Responsibility. We own our power and ability to create, choose, and attract our reality. We demonstrate this in everything we do — and respond to — every day. It is our prime directive.
- Service. We are in service to you and to each other. We earn your business by serving first.
- Love. Growth, change, and healing accrues fastest under conditions of loving-kindness and compassion.
Mission
Our current focus is to make a huge dent in the leadership space by showing that leadership is Responsibility.
How many Responsibility practitioners in our community will it take to achieve this? 10,000,000? 100,000,000?
Strategy
Create happy customers and earn superfans. Our core tactic for doing so is delivering valuable no-selling content to the inboxes of everyone in the Responsibility Community.
The Responsibility Company explores and advances Responsibility*-thinking using The Responsibility Process® and related tools.
*Capital R “Responsibility” indicates our meaning of the word which we define as owning one’s power and ability to create, choose, and attract one’s reality.
The promise is that this way of thinking always translates to ever-increasing freedom, choice, and power for self and others.
Freedom means being released from stuckness, coping, and self-torment.
Choice means deciding to do what you desire and experiencing abundance as opposed to lack.
Power means personal power through self-empowerment, i.e., the ability to be, do, and have what you want.
OUR TEAM
Christopher Avery, Ph.D.
CEO & FOUNDER OF THE RESPONSIBILITY COMPANY
When Christopher Avery was a management consultant, this was his driving question: Why are so many smart people unhappy at work?
25 years ago, Christopher realized that the most useful skills he was teaching his smart, ambitious, professional clients were coping skills. They needed coping skills because they were stuck in a suffocating culture that systematically disempowered and controlled them. An insidious control cycle kept well-meaning, high-performing leaders and key contributors at all levels from doing their best, taking risks, learning, and operating with freedom, power and choice for the organizations’ best interests.
His own career trajectory changed forever when Christopher began working with an emerging behavioral science framework — The Responsibility Process. This powerful framework is the world’s first proven how-to approach for understanding, teaching, and taking personal responsibility. It helps us apply our innate leadership ability to face and overcome any challenge. Operating in freedom, power, and choice, we encourage and support those we lead to do likewise.
Hundreds of organizations worldwide have discovered that The Responsibility Process is the most direct, effective method for establishing a high-functioning culture that can achieve personal, team and organizational transformation and retain talent. The worldwide community of leaders who work with Christopher to master The Responsibility Process are transforming teams and organizations all over the world.
A speaker with wisdom and charisma, Christopher is popular with audiences interested in agility, effective leadership (not more leaders), and results that benefit the organization and the employees.
His classic work, Teamwork Is An Individual Skill, inspires everyone who wants to be done with bad teams. His latest book, The Responsibility Process, offers practices gleaned from 25 years of applied research on responsibility-taking and leadership. He’s the host of The Leadership Gift Program and its worldwide community of leaders and coaches who are mastering responsibility and reaping lifelong benefits.
