Long-held corporate cultures can be tough to change. Instill an ownership mentality with a focus on accountability to increase your chances for success.
How can our leaders be accountable in an environment where we are asked to “do more with less,” influence without authority, and manage a virtual team across the globe, all of whom report up through organizations with their own goals and agendas?
The challenge for organizations is that accountability is intrinsic. People have to choose — for themselves — to take ownership and be accountable.
But accountability can flourish in the right environment.
If you want answerable people, you need to create the conditions that encourage people to fully own their decisions.
This begins with acknowledging and removing unnecessary fear within your organizational culture.
Fear can cause people to hide, hold back, and do only the minimum of what is expected to avoid accountability and leadership. It can lead to aggressiveness, anger, micromanaging, defensiveness, lack of engagement, and victim behavior.
Reducing this fear starts with trust. Earn it by being competent in the work, knowing when to communicate openly and when to keep things in confidence, and following through on what you say you will do.
Enhancing leadership accountability is simple when your team understands and shares these strategies for understanding when to commit and when to get clarification.

“I needed to let go of control and trust my leadership team to be more responsible and accountable. I felt I had to absorb all the responsibility. Rather than empowering my team, I was micromanaging them. They felt I didn’t trust them, and I felt like I needed to be in control of everything. After CCL, I realized this was something I could change so we could be more successful as a team.”
