Are you consistently reaching your professional goals with intention? 
Do you sometimes expect more from your team than you do from yourself?  
Are your work habits adding to or subtracting from the organization results you want?
 

There’s a way to look at what could be holding you back from following through, getting things done, and setting the tone for your organization. And there’s a lot to be learned from doing so. Hear us out.

Leaders need accountability as much as anyone on the org chart. As a business leader, your actions set the tone for your organization. One of the most effective ways to demonstrate accountability is by setting up an accountability partnership—not just for yourself, but also to model the behavior for your team.

Practicing accountability demonstrates to both you and those around you that your integrity is a priority, and you’re invested in your own growth and strength as a leader. Modeling accountability for your team means you’re setting the standard and showing them a way forward through inevitable obstacles. Accountability is not an individual act. For the best results, it is built on trust and collaboration with others and is applied from top to bottom in any organization. A mark of truly effective leaders and teams alike is a sense of ownership that brings out self-driven, rather than imposed, accountability.

You can create a culture where your team feels empowered to take ownership of their actions. A strong culture of accountability can be felt in the team’s trust in one another and seen in their effectiveness in getting things done together.

We’ve created a step-by-step guide for the process of setting up an accountability partnership that works, with tips on how to build a self-accountability routine that drives results for you and your team. Follow it and prepare to watch the positive ripple effect in your organization.
