" Accountability is the guiding principle that defines how we make commitments to one another, how we measure and report our progress how we interact when things go wrong, and how much ownership we take to get things done. It is, in essence, the nerve center that runs throughout every part of the organization and through every working relationship to every member of every team. " - The Oz Princple, http://www.ozprinciple.com/self/why-accountability/
Accountability, and taking action is key to any coaching process, and also high performance.
The word accountability brings up mixed sentiment in today’s work environment. In many organizations where responsibilities are not shouldered, and fingers are pointed when things go wrong, accountability is seen in a negative light. In other organizations, people are not held to account. It’s not modeled by leaders and hence is not practiced.
What does accountability mean in your organization? In your team? Does everyone share the same understanding about what accountability is? How is it modeled? How are you holding people responsible, and accountable for results?
