151: The MOST important step of holding people accountable that you're probably missing

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.
