So often we talk about accountability at work but as I mentioned in my previous blog, I’m yet to meet anyone who lacked accountability in their life who magically turned on accountability at work.

Accountability is a funny thing. There are so many different interpretations of what it is, who has it, who should have it, and of course the enigma of how to coach it in others.
