The Weirdly Simple Way to Get People to Actually Do Stuff (without nagging or micromanaging)

Accountability.

It’s one of those words that makes people cringe — because it often feels like “catching someone” or “getting people in trouble.” But you can’t have high performance without accountability.

The problem is that most leaders make accountability way harder (and way more awkward) than it needs to be.

Leaders often fall into one of two traps:

  • Avoid accountability altogether (to avoid feeling like the “bad guy”)

  • Over-correct and come off as micromanagers

Spoiler…. Neither works.

Here’s what does work: Shifting how you approach accountability so it feels like coaching, not policing.

This week’s Locker Room Chat breaks down a stupid simple way to make accountability natural, effective, and even trust-building.

Closing Thought:
Accountability doesn’t have to feel gross. It can be one of the most powerful tools you have as a leader — if you do it right :)
