SHP recently published an insightful article authored by Zoe Nation, exploring how to positively encourage employees to take accountability.  Our key takeaways to reflect on are:

  • Performance change is more significant following positive reinforcement than negative.  It’s important to create a shared forward-looking accountability rather than backwardly looking to blame.
  • When having conversations with employees about Accountability, Ask them what accountability looks and feels like to them, in practical terms.
  • Encouraging employees to take ownership requires you to build trust rather than judge.
