PPP 366 | Want More Accountability With Your Teams? Heres Where To Start, With Author Michael Timms

Published: Sept. 30, 2022, 8:36 p.m.

Accountability on Project Teams

In this episode, we\u2019re taking on the subject of accountability. And though fostering accountability among our team members is something we\u2019ll talk about, you\u2019re going to see that developing a culture of personal accountability might have a lot more to do with us than we realize.

My guest today is Michael Timms. He\u2019s the author of a fantastic leadership book entitled How Leaders Can Inspire Accountability: Three Habits That Make or Break Leaders and Elevate Organizational Performance.

In this episode, Michael helps us get a better understanding of what accountability is--and isn\u2019t. He explains how looking at accountability through the lens of systems thinking can help us better understand why we\u2019re getting the behaviors we\u2019re experiencing. Michael shares his litmus test of whether or not someone is a leader. And he introduces us to some habits that, when done well and consistently, can develop transforming levels of impact on you, your team, and your organization\u2019s results.
