In this episode, executive coach and senior writer Albert Wolfe and senior coach J.D. Whitney dig into the accountability gap: the space between what leaders assume is happening on their teams and what's actually happening. Drawing on Gallup and Hogan research on leadership competencies, they unpack why accountability is consistently the hardest of these to get right, and why it pays off disproportionately when leaders do.

The conversation covers the fourth pillar of the EMMA model (Expectations, Motivations, Measurements, Accountability): the difference between bad Accountability (blindsiding, disproportionate reactions) and good accountability, and how Curiosity, Courage, and Care can help any leader turn accountability into an act of care that builds trust and performance.
