Accountability is NOT a Four-Letter Word

This week, Tara and Pamela dive into the concept of developing “Inspiring Accountability” in the workplace. What is the first thought that comes to mind when you hear the word “accountability”?  Accountability is often linked to negative feelings such as shame, but if we reframe it as progress, we can see it as a steppingstone toward improvement rather than a personal attack. When we ask ourselves two simple questions, “what is in the way?” and given what’s in the way, “what is possible?” it removes any blaming or shaming aspects from accountability. Join us today as Tara and Pamela explore identifying accountability "red flags," practicing accountability as a leader using Elaina Noell's "CLEAR Results Model," and fostering trust within your team through accountability.  At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.  CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts.
