Why Your Team Keeps Falling Short: The accountability gap

The #1 performance lever leaders ignore: single-point accountability. I was recently asked a compelling question by one of the leaders in our Leadership Beyond the Theory community: “If accountability is so critical to performance, why haven’t I come across it before?”This is a leader who already has an MBA… he’s participated in a variety of leadership courses… and he’s read all the classic leadership books.The answer stems from the fact that hard things are often avoided in corporate cultures. And, make no mistake, strong accountability can only be found on the road less travelled.In this episode, I go deep on why your team is probably falling short, and how bridging the accountability gap can fix this.I give a run down on why single point accountability is the number one driver of execution excellence; I look at the three reasons why leaders (and organisations) are so reluctant to talk about it; and I give you my 5 practical steps for creating a strong, single-point accountability culture – no blame / no excuses! ————————If you’re ready to build the kind of accountability culture I talk about in this episode, you’ll love our flagship program Leadership Beyond the Theory.
