The word accountability can evoke so many different things in workplaces today. For some organizations, accountability is king, whereas in others it may be someone else's responsibility. Regardless of culture, team leaders play a key role in fostering a culture of accountability. Whether it's clarifying who is going to do what after a meeting, or circling back to check in on how things are going, accountability is an important focus for any leader and their team today.
Picking up with our former 6 Coaching Questions series here at the Teams365 blog, today's post explores six questions you may want to ask in your upcoming conversations:
1. What will success look like around this task/activity?
2. Who is going to be responsible for completion?
3. What do you need in order to make it happen?
4. What other support would you like?
5. How will you check in and keep me updated on how it is going?
6.How will we know it's been completed? When will this happen?
We know from research that shared team practices like daily huddles or meetings can boost communication across an entire team. Creating a quick practice of sharing progress verbally or in other forms (like status reports) helps to make action, goal achievement and accountability part of the way you operate as a team.
What are some of your favorite accountability questions? Feel free to share them here as a comment!
Have a great end of the week,
