If you want your team members to succeed, you have to stop holding them accountable. Join J. Scott for a keynote #GSD Talk on How To Build A Culture Of Accountability.
If your team isn't getting the outcomes you think you need, and you believe it's your job to "hold them accountable," You're the problem! It's You!
Improving your team's accountability isn't a real outcome, and it's not something you can force anyone to do. What you really want, is for your team to achieve the outcomes you think your organization needs to thrive.
Our entire concept of accountability starts at the breakdown. One of your team members didn't deliver the outcome you needed, so it's time to put your leadership pants on and "hold them accountable."
Where were your leadership pants before the breakdown? We have the concept of accountability backward. It starts with the leader. Leaders are there to set their team members up to be accountable for the commitments they make. If your team members are regularly voluntold what and how to do things, leadership is the problem... It's you!
You can't help someone stay accountable to a commitment they didn't make. Period ...

I have always appreciated that he engages with my students and motivates them to participate in his talk. He is clearly a thought leader in project management and empowers his audience with tangible learning points and tools.”
– MURAT BAYIZ, Professor of Clinical Data Science and Operations Management at USC - Marshall School of Business“Jason Scott is a dynamic speaker that is passionate about Leadership. Not only is he a great speaker, but his follow-up after the meeting is always timely as he treats his audience with the utmost priority.”
– DEBY COVY, PMI Los Angeles“Jason Scott is a provocative and evocative speaker. His highly engaging and irreverent style leaves listeners more than just informed or even enlightened. It leaves them altered. Jason has an ability to cut through normal corporate-speak to the heart of the matter in a light and fun way, while lacking no clarity about what is at stake. Organizations and individuals who hear his message will be better because of it.”
