You are an accomplished leader. You want your team to win.
When we are in a leadership role, we all want the people that work for us to be accomplished and accountable. We want them to feel happy and satisfied with their positions and how they interact with us. And… we want that to reflected back to us as leaders.
More than anything when someone, me or you, is in a leadership role, it’s important that the leader lays the foundation to create accountability. People want to be held accountable. When people are held accountable they know exactly what to do and it allows them to do what they need to do and feel more accomplished.
People want accountability. They crave it, they often need an outside source to create that accountability or a roadmap for them to follow. Only because they don’t have clarity on what they need to do.
How can you create more accountability with your team and blow your productivity goals out of the water?
If you are wanting to create more accountability with your team do these three simple tactics.
- ESTABLISH GOALS. Explain to the team what goal, task, or outcome you collectively need to achieve.
- CREATE CLARITY. Get your team to explain back to you what their understanding is of what needs to be accomplished.
- MAKE A PLAN. YOU (the leader) take notes and write down ideas, tactics, and agree on a timeline.
- GET TO WORK. Let your team go! Let them get to work.
- CIRCLE BACK. Check back periodically on the timeline you established together, and ask what you can do to serve and help the project move forward.
When you execute on these tactics WITH your team (not FOR your team), you will see your productivity, results, and team accountability SOAR!
