In this episode, which is part 12 of David´s CALM leadership series, he explains how you can make accountability part of your daily life, for you and your team. This is an important step to becoming a great leader.

Using the PRIDE approach, which stands for Personal Responsibility In Daily Effort, you can make performing at your best second nature, while empowering your team members to do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If people, or you, are not showing up on time or need micromanaging there is almost certainly an accountability issue.
• A lack of accountability is very common.
• An apparent lack of accountability isn't because people don't care. It's usually because people aren't clear about what is expected from them.
• Put standards, systems and methods in place that make accountability habitual.
• Higher levels of employee engagement results in 20% (or more) productivity.
• Create a charter of behaviors e.g. if we make a mistake we admit it and learn from it. Get everyone to commit to those standards.
• Keep people up to date on progress.
• Set out clear expectations, meet them yourself and lead the way.
• When you create a culture of safety, people feel happier stepping outside of their comfort zone and striving harder to do better and be more accountable.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Accountability on this level is where the magic happens,’

‘Clarity of accountability happens on a daily, weekly basis.’

‘If you're in a position of leadership, you're obligated to role model the way.’

‘Create a space of safety for people.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
