#3698: Why Accountability Fails (Even When You Want It)
About this episode
I explain why accountability systems fail even when everyone understands and agrees with the process. The problem is usually not a lack of intention. The problem is that no one is enforcing the accountability system when people fail to follow through. I've learned that accountability only works when follow-through is required, not optional, because accountability and optionality cannot exist in the same place at the same time.
Show Notes:
[02:21]#1 Nobody owns the enforcement.
[08:28]#2 There are no real consequences.
[12:49]#3 Inconsistency destroys every system.
[16:40] Recap

Execution is not a talent.
It is a standard.
If your results don’t match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment.
Most people do not have a motivation problem.
They have a consistency problem.
Power Presence is the system for operating with greater discipline, clarity, structure, and execution under pressure.
