Continuing along with our weekly theme of supporting accountability in your team, I'm following up on yesterday's post #Teams365 #888 -on Creating More Accountability in Your Team This Week, with today's post of Key Ingredients of Accountability. In essence, today's post looks at what do we need to have in place to really boost a culture of accountabilty within our team.
The following are key ingredients for accountability:
Clarity and specifics - what are the goals you are working on? What does success look like?
What if? What are the consequences if something is not done? For you? How does it impact the work and results of others? We often don't provide the big picture of how different tasks are connected.
Why? Helping people understand the What if along with WHY these tasks and results are important also helps to boost accountability
Feedback - we need to provide feedback on what's working, and what's not. Without a feedback loop people will be unclear as to how things are progressing.
Space for Check in - We often know it's important to check in but we don't leave time, or create time, to do so. What will it take this week to dedicate time for these activities - providing clarity, making sure the team understands the What If? and WHY? Creating time for feedback? and
Finally, deciding who needs to be involved and what resources are needed.
What are your next steps around these items this week?
Enjoy your Tuesday,
Jennifer
