The New Manager Playbook with Lia Garvin

How to Build a Culture of Accountability Without Micromanaging


Listen Later

Missed deadlines, unclear expectations, and endless meetings? These aren’t random problems—they’re symptoms of a deeper issue: lack of accountability. In this episode, discover how to fix that. Subscribe now!

In this powerful episode, Lia Garvin breaks down what accountability really means (spoiler: it’s not blame or punishment) and how to create a team culture rooted in ownership. Learn practical tools to shift your team's mindset, build psychological safety, and stop wasting time and money on repeated mistakes. Accountability gets a bad rap. Too often, it’s mistaken for finger-pointing or harsh discipline, but Lia reframes it as ownership—like the difference between renting and owning a home. When team members feel like owners, they show up proactively, avoid costly mistakes, and invest emotionally in outcomes.

Lia walks through how to identify gaps in accountability, the hidden costs of inaction, and why even high performers will walk away from teams that lack clarity and follow-through. Whether you're in tech, healthcare, agencies, or running a med spa, the solution starts with candid conversations, clear expectations, and a culture of continual learning.

If you’re tired of decisions getting reopened and timelines slipping through the cracks, this episode is your accountability playbook.
