[ScaleX Bite-Size] How To Build Accountability: Let The Team Create Plan Not You

from ScaleX™ Insider Podcast · host Brendan McGurgan

My team won't take responsibility. You're the problem. You tell your team where to go, then you bake the plan for how to get there. Result: zero accountability. Claire and Brendan reveal the solution - adopt a followership mindset, let your team create the plan, and accountability gets automatically baked in. Stop telling them how. Step behind, not in front. They're craving to be empowered. Claire and Brendan discuss deconstructing vision into goals where leader intentionally does not appear as owner of any goals so team steps up takes lead owns tasks, the challenge when leader tells team where going AND bakes the plan to get there which results in zero accountability, adopting followership mindset by saying here's where we want to go you create the plan which automatically bakes in accountability, inviting leaders to let go and follow team in creation and execution of plan, stepping behind not in front, understanding wonderful people around you craving to be empowered, and being more intentional showing up in business adopting follower mindset instead of telling them how.
