Episode description
There's a good chance you're missing the MOST important step in holding your teams accountable. Most managers are.
What's that step, you ask? The follow through.
So many times as leaders, we set clear expectations and then stop right there, forgetting that there's a critical check point we have to do on the other side. In this episode, I share how to move your team from simply completing tasks to taking full ownership of their responsibilities - and the true enabler of accountability: the follow through.
