Strengthening accountability and leadership practice
It is vital to revisit a foundation of leadership — setting expectations and facilitating accountability through effective 1:1s. Structured well, these sessions build trust, provide context, and improve motivation and engagement. They also place accountability for performance and development where it belongs.
Prioritise regular 1:1s that focus on what matters most to the team member. With thoughtful preparation, strong questions, and a coaching mindset, these meetings become catalysts for growth rather than routine check-ins.
