How To Hold New Hires Accountable For Their Results

Accountability is a willingness to accept responsibility for your actions.

A high-functioning team requires that everyone exceeds a role’s expectations. If they can’t learn, succeed, and grow in a role, then the role isn’t for them. Everyone must be held accountable for their area of responsibility.

Accountability starts on day one.

Encourage team accountability.

Teams must accept and champion the company big objective.

It’s the one, big, hairy, scary thing the company is striving to achieve. The failure of one person affects everyone. The team holds each person accountable and doesn’t accept mediocrity, slopiness, or laziness in pursuit of their goals.

It’s essential to have a company big objective and productivity KPIs everyone is working towards.

Enable individual accountability standards.

New hires must be given autonomy to hold themselves accountable.

They should know what success looks like. A manager who hovers, breathing down the neck of her team, slobbering with fury as someone makes a mistake isn’t effective. People need room to execute.
