One of the most common questions I get asked as a leadership life guru is “how do I get people to take responsibility?” Katie and I know this question all too well and it might be one you’ve either asked before or have wanted to ask or more importantly, just wanted someone to answer. Well, in this week’s podcast Katie and I do just that. As a follow up from last week’s show where we discussed response-ability, we answer the big question, how to get others to take responsibility.
You may be surprised by the response or have one of those, “yeah, that’s what I thought” moments. Getting our teams to move forward and get our work done seems like the biggest challenge for leaders however, when you understand more deeply the context in which true responsibility occurs, this supposed challenge fades into the background. There is an entirely different approach to collaboration and what it looks like when each person takes 100% responsibility; no more, no less. We hope you enjoy the show.
