Implement an accountability system (assigned owners and tracked scorecards)
Goals without accountability quietly slip. Accountability systems make ownership clear and visible — everyone knows what they're responsible for and that follow-through gets checked.
Do this
- Give every goal and key task a single clear owner.
- Make commitments and deadlines visible to the team.
- Review progress on a set rhythm (weekly).
- Recognize follow-through and address misses directly.
Accountability System Checklist
- One clear owner per goal/task
- Deadlines that are written down and visible
- A weekly review of commitments
- Recognize people who deliver
- Address missed commitments early and directly
