Accountability Is Not a Team Sport challenges one of the most common leadership myths: that accountability is something managers give to others through conversations, consequences, or oversight. Drawing on real-world examples, behavioral science, and neuroscience, this paper makes a compelling case that sustainable performance comes from self-accountability, not external pressure. 

You’ll discover why traditional accountability conversations often fail, what high performers do differently, and how leaders can build an internal system for ownership using the PowerOS framework. If you’re tired of having the same conversations with the same results, this asset offers a practical, research-backed way to shift accountability from something you enforce to something people choose.
