Part of Leadership Process & Leadership Coaching is focusing on accountabilities. Accountabilities of people, teams and of me as the facilitator. These accountabilities are in-line with Goal Setting, time frames and learning agendas.

By breaking these accountabilities in Micro-Decisions based upon a Macro-Learning agenda success is found! Develop an accountability plan and use a method that is known and agreeable to your team and yourself.

This way people know what they are being accountable for as well as a shared understanding of meaning and great work.

Allow for some personal and team autonomy when making the action plans. Reading Dan Pink’s book Drive. I like his breakdown of different people requiring autonomy in different areas. Some examples are;

• Task
• Time
• Technique
• Talents

 

Here is a table that works for setting goals for accountability (individual or team or organizational)

 

Goal	Strategy	Objective	Responsibility	Time Line	Feedback & Evaluation
1- Goal #1	1.1 – First strategy to reach goal #1	1.1.1 – First objective to reach while implementing strategy #1.1	Who’s going to accomplish that objective?	When the implementer is going to accomplish that objective	What system for communication and feedback will be utilized for completion of objective
