389 It’s Not Just the Team—It’s Them: Balancing Accountability Like a Boss
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Accountability isn’t just about calling people out — it’s about lifting everyone up. In this quick 5-minute episode, we’re breaking down how to balance team-wide expectations with individual ownership so the same few people aren’t doing all the heavy lifting.
You’ll learn:
- How to set expectations that stick (no guessing games!)
- When to address the group vs. when to go 1-on-1
- Why praise should be public but correction should be private
- What to do when you’re the only one holding the line
- How to build a culture where accountability is shared — not feared
If you’re tired of walking on eggshells just to keep the peace, this one’s for you.
