How to Build Real Accountability in Your Team (Without Micromanaging)

Accountability is one of the most common leadership challenges - and one of the biggest performance levers.

If your team isn’t following through, taking initiative, or owning their work, this episode will show you how to fix that without slipping into control or micromanagement.

I walk you through my 6-step framework to build a high-accountability culture and the specific leadership skills you need to model and develop to make it happen.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- Why accountability is the foundation of performance and motivation

- How to create a clear vision and goals your team can connect to

- What managers get wrong about delegation (and how to fix it)

- Why setting clear expectations changes everything

- The underrated power of coaching over fixing

- How to give feedback that creates ownership and motivates people

- Why recognising wins is critical for accountability

Pick one skill to focus on this month and start creating the kind of team that follows through, steps up, and gets results - without the constant push.

This episode isn’t just about improving performance, it’s about building a culture of ownership, trust, and real leadership. Start here, and the ripple effect will change everything.
