Biggest Takeaways You Don't Want to Miss:
  • If the only way to get people to do their work is if you are chasing, checking, and correcting them, then they aren’t accountable. You are.
  • Holding people accountable puts the onus on you. Helping people to be accountable keeps the responsibility with them.
  • Asking people to do something without giving them the context prevents them from being able to take full accountability for the outcome.
  • Stop asking people to read your mind. If you want them to do something successfully, you need to give them a clear picture of what success looks like and the tools and supports they need to be successful.
  • Setting people up for success is a way more effective than punishing them for failing.
