Holding Your Team Accountable

- High functioning teams are accountable. To themselves, to their teammates, and to their leader. You have the power to create an environment where everyone knows what's expected, trust they'll be supported, and knows the expectations will be enforced. With practice, you can master the techniques for accountable teams. Whether you lead teams in person, virtually, cross-functional or co-located teams. Do you remember the game, "Not it"? As a kid, when confronted with a task no one wanted to do, all the other kids would rush to put their index finger on their nose and say, "Not it". The last person ended up doing the dreaded task. You may have noticed, people play a version of this game, in professional settings all the time. See if some of this looks familiar to you. - Well, that's not my job. - I finished my part of the project. - No one asked me to do that, it's not my problem. - (sighs) It's not fair, I'm always stuck with that task. - They don't pay me enough for this. - If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you may have an accountability problem on your team.
