Jason sits down with Adam Hoots for a wide ranging conversation on accountability, culture, and what it actually takes to build people up on a project. Adam walks through his accountability meter from awareness through educating, coaching, clear expectations, crucial conversations, and role modification, while Jason pushes the framework one layer deeper into environment, culture, and behavior. They land on radical candor, the difference between respect and punishment, and why every leader has to start with the question, "Is it me?"

What you'll learn in this episode:

• Adam's accountability meter and how to walk someone from awareness to role modification

• Why process comes first, then environment and culture, before you ever look at the person

• How radical candor (caring personally and challenging directly) shows up on a real project

• Why ruinous empathy and not speaking up can be more damaging than obnoxious aggression

• How accountability has to be taken, not given, and why Scrum is one of the best tools for it

If we're going to fight for the worker, the first place that fight starts is in the mirror.
