A Strategy for Rebuilding Accountability
This is the fifth and final episode in a series of programs on growing concerns about an emerging accountability crisis in America.
In this episode, I offer my thoughts on how leaders can strengthen accountability in their organization. The strategy aims at countering a situation which is increasingly common: workers who are capable and talented, but whose accountability is lackluster. For whatever reason, they entered adulthood without a mature commitment to being accountable.
What I suggest is not a quick-fix approach. Rather, I look at a three-part strategy which grows accountability gradually and incrementally.
Each part of the strategy centers on some aspect of tasking our people and reviewing their performance. At every stage, the strategy draws on motivational techniques which will profit leaders anywhere, even if their organization does not have accountability issues.
The strategy is easy to grasp, simple to implement, and straightforward maintain. But it does require long-term commitments from leaders to model the way and to conduct frequent informal conversations with those who report to them.
