Struggling to hold your team accountable? That phrase may not mean exactly what we think it does.

In this episode of Upnext, I’m joined by Dr. Liane Davey, a psychologist, New York Times bestselling author and business strategist with expertise in leadership, team effectiveness and productivity.

Together, we break down what we mean when we say “holding someone accountable,” and how leaders can overcome this. By adapting the way leaders delegate and communicate with their teams, we can attain better results while building a psychologically safe environment. 

Listen now and learn how accountability should be fostered, not forced.
