The Accountability Mirror: How Culture Falls Apart Without It
In this episode of the Culture Focused Practice podcast, I dig into accountability - not the “feet to the fire” kind, but the real kind that acts like glue for your culture. Enter the accountability mirror: the tool that forces us as leaders to ask, “What role did I play here?” before we go pointing fingers.
I’ll unpack why accountability is essential for trust, safety, and clarity, what happens when it goes missing (spoiler: resentment, over-functioning, and lowered standards), and how to bake it into your practice through systems and feedback. It’s messy, human, and necessary.
