Accountability

A project leader:

• communicates project purpose and expectations
• guides their team to meet the project’s objectives
• considers the effect of strategic decisions
• visibly supports project requirements

Tips

• Keep an eye on long-term planning
• Give the team a clear purpose and goal; continually reinforce the project’s intention and expectations of the organization
• Don’t mistake empowering team members for transferring total accountability to them; they may not have the right context to make good decisions or authority to make sure they get done
