Unwilling To Settle - Accountable Seedership Consulting
“Accountable Seedership™ is more than leadership training; it’s a mindset, a culture. It initiates the thought process of examining the end result of our actions or inactivity. The success, profitability, sustainability of your business and the livelihood of your employees is dependent on your ability to improve daily, not improvise daily."
– Greg Gilbert – President, Unwilling To Settle
"Greg Gilbert is a man on a mission who will help you exceed your expectations.”

Greg, You did a great job. Your program was very educational; that is why we decided to have you give the presentation to everyone in our office. – E.C. – Assistant General Manager -Express Employment Professionals-May 2012
“If you want to develop your leadership team and improve results, you are at the right place. If you want to do this without total accountability, you are at the wrong place. In fact, without accountability, we admit, even we can't help your place.”

"Welcome to Unwilling To Settle - Accountable Seedership™ Consulting. We are Unwilling To Settle for mediocre results and are looking for others that share this vision. We exist solely for the purpose of developing and improving "Accountable Proactive Leaders". At the core of our training is a simple concept, if nothing is written, nothing is improving.

We are also different because the majority of our content comes from personal successes, failures and the actions or inactions that led to both. We are not your textbook prepared course. Check out our ATTENDEE COMMENTS.

You may have been pointed to our site by a conversation with one of our team members, a web search or a referral by one of our satisfied clients. It doesn't matter how you arrived, welcome.


If you are a leader that wants improvement in your organization, give us at least 90 seconds and read to our HIGH IN TRUST bumper sticker. If we don't raise concern or interest by then, congratulations, you must have a very profitable and sustainable business. If you don't make the training decisions for your organization, please forward our site to that person.

When we contact organizations, this is what we normally hear;

• "We do our own leadership training."
• "We have internal leadership training."
• "We do online leadership training."
• "Our leadership training is controlled by corporate."

Great! You should be enjoying continued improvement of results and as we all know, continued employment depends on results. Of course, if you are not familiar with our company or message, you have given the most comfortable answer. We understand. We invite you to "check us out". Read on, E-mail us or call with questions.

However, as we all know in leadership, it's what we don't hear that should concern us. See if any of these sound familiar;

• "There is no trust, even between the levels of leadership."
• "No one is held accountable."
• "There are too many politics."
• "No one is ever placed on a performance improvement plan."
• "No one is ever placed on a level of discipline."
• "We have no documented discussions of praise or the company vision."
• "Our annual performance reviews are rubber stamped and worthless."
• "There is favoritism and disparate treatment."
• "The good old boy network is running rampant."
• "Good employees that still love their job and this company are resigning, transferring or retiring because of bad bosses and no one can see this."
• "Gossip is running rampant around here and is crippling our morale."

If you are absolutely certain these are not occurring in your organization, thank you for your time. If any of these sound familiar and cause concern, take this simple test to see if we could compliment what you are currently doing.

Proactive Leadership Test


A. All organizations have access to the same processes, systems, software, machinery and raw materials. True_____ False________

B. If A is true, your employees will be the ONLY thing that will differentiate you from others. Your employees ARE your greatest asset. True___ False _____

C. Number of employees in this sample? _________

D. Number of hours of formal or informal training in the past year? _______

E. Average hours of formal or informal training in the past year per employee? D÷C ________

F. Number of documented discussions of improvement needed, expectations, visions of the company, company culture, progress or praise in the past year?_______

G. Average documented discussions in the past year per employee? F÷C _____

Looking at E and G, what type of job have you done in developing your greatest asset? Are you walking the walk or do you just feel compelled to say "our employees are our greatest asset"?

This is enough information to determine if you have a proactive, reactive or inactive leadership team. Want to measure ROI on training? This is it.

If E and G are high numbers, congratulations, what you are doing is working. If this number is between low and zero, you are maintaining, not improving. There is either a lack of training, accountability or both. We can provide the training IF we can count on you for the accountability.

At Unwilling To Settle we reinforce the seeds that must be sown and provide the tools necessary to improve your results and engage employees. We will increase awareness of every action or inaction and their impact on the success of your company. We will do this through real-life successes, failures and the actions or inactions that led to both.

Read on if you are serious about improvement or check out our COURSE CONTENT or our PRODUCTS AND PRICES."
- Greg Gilbert - President- Unwilling To Settle
This bumber sticker says it all. If we haven't tweaked your concern or interest yet, congratulations! You probably have a very profitable and sustainable organization. Thank you so much for your time. Please share our web site with a friend. Maybe we can save a job somewhere.

How is our leadership training different? -Most of us have been through enough leadership training to know there is no "Silver Bullet". But at Unwilling To Settle, we truly believe the combination of our content, improvement in the "Proactive Leadership Test" and your accountability could be the closest thing to a "Silver Bullet" there is. It will take you from IMPROVISING to IMPROVING.

Although there may not be that one "Silver Bullet" that takes you to the top, there is the "Anti-Silver Bullet" that will take you quickly to the bottom. That is ignoring poor performers or situations of high liability. Our "Proactive Leadership Test" measures this.

As everyone has access to the same systems, machinery, processes, software and raw material, your employees make the difference. They are your greatest asset. Our mutual investment in your greatest asset, THAT is the difference. Training & Tracking will guarantee success.

We are excited about working with organizations that want to improve results and develop their greatest asset NOW.
Problem: Reactive Managers, Supervisors and Foremen that produce little or no growth or improvement. They distribute work, handle problems and repeat. They do not use leadership tools to engage and develop employees, They remain in the Maintenance Mode. This is totally due to a lack of training and/or accountability.

Solution: Accountable Proactive Leadership that regularly conveys, reviews and documents discussions of expectations, progress, improvement needed or praise. They are constantly in the Improvement Mode.

Accountable Seedership™ Consulting provides the tools and training necessary to transition to a Proactive Leader that strives for improvement. All you provide is the accountability. What mode is your management team in?

Tired of dealing with the same personnel issues day after week after month after year? Tired of all the drama? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Try something different; Accountable Seedership™ Consulting.
We are not a replacement for what you are currently doing in leadership training; we will compliment your existing training. Whenever there is money or time spent, there is an expectation. This occurs when every paycheck is issued or an employee reports to work. These expectations MUST be regularly conveyed, reviewed and met.

We are confident we will not conflict with your culture or vision but please call or e-mail us if you would like to discuss our content. Take our Proactive Leadership Test above. If these numbers are low, you are not capitalizing on your existing human capital. You WILL see improvement as these numbers increase.

We will provide the tools and stress the necessity of "Courageous Conversation" with low performers and accolades to high performers on a regular basis.

We offer this in a very high content 3.5 hour seminar at your location. This course will include real life successes, failures and the good, bad and absence of seeds that caused both.

We also offer a keynote or breakout session for your leadership meetings with "Mr. HR With A Guitar". In all cases you will leave with great content AND have some fun. We believe it is unlawful to be restricted to content OR fun.

Check out our COURSE CONTENT and see if you don't experience "that would be good to know" at LEAST 15-20 times. Our course combined with your accountability, will assist you in building a strong A Team. You cannot afford a B Team. Until the expectations of an employer are regularly shared, reviewed and met; you have not even touched your potential. We can help.

"The success, profitability, sustainability of your business and the livelihood of your employees is dependent on your ability to improve, not maintain. Our system combined with your accountability, guarantees improvement."- Greg Gilbert President- Unwilling To Settle
If processes, software, machinery and raw materials remain the same, the improvement of your organization depends TOTALLY on one thing; documented two-way discussions of expectations, progress, improvement needed or praise. Without these frequent discussions, you have no improvement or accountability. These discussions are the ONLY method to insure expectations are met.

Accountable Seedership™ Consulting can provide tools and education to insure the expectations of an organization are conveyed, reviewed and met. Improvement in quality, productivity, safety, attendance and customer service are assured with our training and your accountability. We can help.
Fully engaging your employees is one of the shortest paths to success. We provide the tools, content and good seeds to transition your organization to the improvement mode. You will never see improvement with a reactive mindset, scarcity mentality or playing to not lose. Proactive leaders play to win! Proactive leaders can answer this question at any time; "What was your contribution to each aspect of your business?"
Can we agree on the daily high cost of;

• Poor quality, quantity, safety, attendance and morale?
• Losing good employees and customers because of bad leadership?
• Liability and exposure?

Are you absolutely, positively certain you have your leadership team fully equipped with the knowledge and tools to address these items? What training have you provided in the past year? Two years?
