Chaos to calm: Why accountability can be hard S2 E8

Accountability in leadership

Why do we need accountability and why is it so hard? In this episode, Jenni looks at how lack of accountability can cause chaos, its impact on trust, and the reasons why it’s critical to employee engagement. She suggests ways to improve accountability for you and others, and how to strengthen the link to organisational culture.
