Holding Others Accountable is Hard for Team Leaders. It is a Process. It takes time. Here are 7 Steps Team Leaders can follow to Help Hold Others Accountable. 1: Hold Yourself Accountable First - All leadership begins with self-leadership. Before you can think about leading others & holding others accountable, you must first hold yourself accountable. This is essential. 2: Lead by Example - Next, you must lead by example in all you do. On the court or field and off the court or field. Do you model the behavior and the decisions that are needed for a successful team? This includes attitude, energy, work ethic, and commitment level as well. 3: Be Authentic - Are you a genuine person? Before you begin to lead and hold others accountable, you need to be sure that you are seen as authentic and genuine. Can you be trusted? 4: Compliment & Cheer Teammate Success - There have been studies on the importance of positive to negative feedback. Much of this is centered on a 5:1 ratio, 5 positives to every negative. As a leader, build your teammates up with positives so you hold them accountable later. 5: Connect - Leaders are connectors of people. They bring the ENTIRE Team together. They do not leave anyone out. They know that team success depends on all athletes feeling a part of the team. Doing this makes it easier for team leaders to hold others accountable. 6: Challenge - Once you have done steps 1-5, you are now able to more easily hold your teammates accountable. It starts with challenging them when needed. Challenge them to step up, commit more, play harder, make better decisions, and more. 7: Confront - Finally, there may be times when you need to confront teammates. Leaders need to be gatekeepers of the team culture. You have earned this right through your leadership progression. If you do not do it, who will? And if it is not addressed, the TEAM suffers. ----- Follow me @gb1121 for more Actionable Ideas on Coaching, Leadership, Culture, and Teams.
