Accountability

Holding people and being held accountable is an exchange of trust. An unhealthy version takes convincing, prodding, and coaxing. This type of accountability is missing a proper reason. The reason is empty in the mind of the one being held accountable. 

If there is no trust in the purpose it feels like an empty activity with no value. The deadline feels pointless. If you see an accountability breakdown, chances are the bigger picture of how it benefits them on the mission isn’t clear. 

Healthy accountability is about trust. Trust that the action will have a meaningful impact.
