My win was learning the following - if you are meeting someone for the first time and want to make a favorable impression then introduce yourself, listen to what the other person has to say, ask follow-up questions (like tell me more or how did that make you feel?) and let the other person do most of the talking. Research shows the more you listen and ask questions and the more the other person talks - the higher the probability that person will walk away liking you.
When accountability is optional, culture starts to unravel
You see it happen fast: - Frustration builds - Workloads become uneven - Top performers burn out - Disengagement quietly creeps in Accountability starts with leadership—and many managers struggle with it. In fact, a Harvard Business Review study found that 46% of managers were rated poorly in this area. But here’s the thing 👇Most managers aren’t avoiding accountability because they don’t care. They were never taught: ▶️ How to set clear expectations ▶️ How to coach performance (not just correct it) ▶️ How to document issues properly ▶️ What to actually say in a hard conversation ▶️ How to hold people accountable without damaging trust Many managers were promoted for technical skill—not leadership readiness. That’s why accountability isn’t intuitive. It has to be taught, practiced, and supported. 👇 Let’s talk about it. How effective are your managers at holding people accountable for results? BONUS QUESTION - Add in comments ⁉️What's the hardest part of accountability in your organization right now?

As Leslie notes, too often managers don't take the time to collaborate with the team member being given an assignment - this extra step invites discussion and increases the likelihood of clearer expectations and accountability between the manager and team member.

My experience has been that most managers and executives perceive themselves as being good interviewers - but in reality most are not. They talk too much and don't do a very good job of listening to the candidate's answers. I think HR has an opportunity to get involved in guiding/coaching/structuring the interview process and preparing the interviewers to listen and and ask planned questions that are job related and behavior based. I've found using a small panel of prepared interviewers -- who are expected to rate and debrief on each of the candidates interviewed - increases the likelihood of a successful hire.
