There are 2 modules in this course

This module lays the foundation for building accountable, high-performing teams by helping managers understand what true accountability looks like and how to identify when it’s missing. Learners explore the core principles of team ownership, the distinctions between responsibility, blame, and accountability, and the impact these dynamics have on team results. Through videos, readings, and interactive tools, managers will learn to spot early warning signs of low accountability, analyze real-world cases of disengagement, and apply proven models—such as accountability ladders and culture audits—to uncover root causes. By the end of this module, participants will be able to evaluate team behaviors, diagnose accountability gaps using data-driven insights, and prepare to implement effective strategies for improvement in the next module.

This module focuses on translating accountability insights into actionable systems and team norms that drive consistent performance. Learners will explore how to build clear team agreements, define shared commitments, and use tools like dashboards and check-ins to ensure visibility and follow-through. The lessons emphasize using constructive feedback and consequence management to address accountability challenges while maintaining trust and respect. Through hands-on practice and real-world examples, managers will learn to embed accountability into daily routines, recognition practices, and peer systems that reinforce ownership over time. By the end of this module, participants will have the frameworks and strategies needed to cultivate a culture where accountability is not enforced—but lived—across every level of the team.
