If you are building a culture where honest expectations are communicated and peer accountability is the norm, then the group will address poor performance and attitudes.

Accountability.<\/strong> What does that mean to you? Does it mean doing what you say? Admitting mistakes? Being transparent? Supporting goals? What else?<\/p>\n

As leaders there\u2019s a need to create a culture of accountability where individuals, teams and the entire organization create a strategy and commitment to make it come alive (and provide feedback when it\u2019s lacking).<\/p>\n

Gordon Tredgold provides the following to help increase accountability levels:<\/p>\n

1 – Accountability starts with you, the leader<\/strong>
\nLeadership must model the behaviors desired within the organization.<\/p>\n

2 – You are Accountable<\/strong>
\nLeaders are accountable for any failures (as well as any successes) within their organization.<\/p>\n

3 – Accountability is not a one-time thing<\/strong>
\nAccountability is not occasional, rather it\u2019s an “all-time thing”.<\/p>\n

4 – Accountability applies to one and all<\/strong>
\nThere\u2019s no playing favorites; accountability must be consistently requested of everyone.<\/p>\n

5 – Accountability cannot be delegated<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s something that has to be accepted be each person so they feel accountable and take ownership of their behaviors and actions.<\/p>\n

6 – Accountability is the difference between success and failure<\/strong>
\nWhen ownership exists and problems arise, individuals step into solution mode.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 Holding people Accountable<\/strong>
\nActually discuss and assess how\/if each person is being accountable. This will strengthen accountability, and provides opportunities for feedback (and praise).<\/p>\n

In conclusion, Tredgold shares:\u00a0 ask teams and colleagues if they have “everything they need to be successful; when they say yes they have taken a big step towards accepting accountability.<\/em> If they say no then you need to make sure you provide whatever is missing because without it they will never accept accountability”.<\/em><\/p>\n

As a leader, are you modeling the desired behaviors that improve accountability? Is anything missing that will prevent others from being accountable?<\/p>\n
