An FAQ on Team Accountability
This FAQ came up again recently, so let���s review –
���My boss doesn���t support my desire to establish accountability with my team. What do I do?���
Lee���s Answer ���
���This situation is somewhat similar to the question above and like so many manager/employee issues���much hinges on the trust that comes from (1) relationship capital and (2) proven professional competence. If you have those two advantages you can present your case. You can also make it easier for him or her to support you by sharing some of the benefits to accountability described in chapter 3 in my book, Engage with Honor.
Also, point out that the accountability we are talking about is very friendly and not punitive. It���s really about helping people succeed and when they don���t, helping them understand why. Sometimes it will mean they have to find a different work situation where they can be successful. If someone is not succeeding, why would you not want to help them find a place where they can do well?
I���ve heard many people say that looking back getting fired was the best thing that had happened to them. It forced them to find their niche where they could really be successful. This would also be a good time to refer to the graphic in chapter 3, showing that courageous accountability is a four-way winner.���
