The Arbinger Institute Develop the best leaders and culture your organization has ever had—starting with mindset. Our mission: Bringing humanity to the workplace.

The Arbinger Institute is a global leadership development firm that helps organizations shift their mindsets, transform their cultures, and drive changes that lead to exceptional results. There’s a major shift happening in the world. A people-centric culture is now a critical component in achieving desired business results. In fact, according to Great Place to Work, a global leader on workplace culture, companies that are people-centric outperform the broader market by 16.5%. But a company’s culture can’t change overnight, nor can it happen with one person alone. Arbinger helps you develop people-centric leaders who understand the full impact, potential, and power they can have on others.

We’re stressed.
They’re rude.

We’re overwhelmed.
They’re unreliable.

We made a mistake.
That’s just who they are.

We’re very good at giving ourselves context and giving other people labels.

Maybe they deserve some context, too.

Much harder to see how you are.

We talk a lot about holding people accountable. But think about what that implies.

YOU notice the problem.
YOU call it out.
YOU follow up.
YOU make sure it gets done.

So who actually owns the accountability?

Maybe the goal isn’t to get better at holding people accountable. Maybe it’s to develop people who hold themselves accountable.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what that shift looks like and how leaders can build a culture where ownership doesn’t depend on someone constantly enforcing it.

When: Tuesday, October 20th
Time: 2 PM, EST

Holding people accountable sounds like good leadership. But is it really?

When a leader has to notice it, call it out, correct it, and follow up, who really owns the accountability?

The goal isn’t to become better at holding people accountable.

It’s to develop people who hold themselves accountable—who notice, adjust, take ownership, and act without waiting for the boss to step in.

What would happen in your organization if you stopped holding people accountable and started developing self-accountable people?

The moment you think, “I should probably…” really matters.

I should help.
I should listen.
I should apologize.
I should ask instead of assume.
I should give them the benefit of the doubt.

And then, almost instantly, we find a reason not to.

I’m too busy.
They don’t deserve it.
They should know better.
Why should I be the one?

That’s self-betrayal.

It’s going against that initial sense of what we should do for another person.

And once we betray that sense, we begin seeing the other person, ourselves, and the situation differently.

One small self-betrayal can change everything that follows.

Facilitators are used to people coming to them with the hard stuff.

“I need to have a conversation I’ve been avoiding.”

“My 1:1 is tomorrow. What do I do?”

“How do I actually use this when things get messy?”

A workshop can give people a foundation. But what if you could also give them tools for the moments when they actually need the help?

Join Mitch Warner to see how Outward Unlimited can expand the facilitator toolkit and help people put an outward mindset to work in real situations.

Working with difficult people doesn’t have to feel this hard. The problem usually isn’t just what they’re doing. It’s what you’re not seeing. We explore this in our upcoming workshops.

Take a look at upcoming workshop dates and locations to find what works best for you.

Its funny how the problem always seems to be…everyone else.

In Arbinger’s research, people consistently rated themselves as more outward than the people around them.

Me? 6.8.
Everyone else? 4.6.

How convenient.

The mindset gap isn’t just between how we see ourselves and others. It’s also seeing seeing our part in the problem.

Maybe the change you’re waiting for everyone else to make starts with you.

You know the feeling.

Everyone is annoying.
The project is a mess.
Every request feels like an interruption.
And somehow, you’re the only one who seems to see the problem.

But what if everyone getting on your nerves says more about you than them?

Frustration can be a red flag. A signal that something has shifted in how we’re seeing the people and situations around us.

In this 30-minute webinar, we’ll explore how to recognize those red flags, understand what’s really driving your frustration, and interrupt the cycle before it takes over.

When: Tuesday, September 29th
Time: 10:00 AM MDT
