    How to get real accountability in your team

    When people talk about accountability at work, it usually gets lumped into performance reviews, awkward conversations, or chasing people for deadlines. But the truth is, real accountability isn’t about chasing — it’s about building a culture where people own their work, even when no one’s watching. A lot of leaders are walking a tightrope right now: trying to set expectations and keep people on track, without feeling like they’re micromanaging or constantly chasing. At the same time, under-performance is climbing, skill gaps are growing, and the pressure hasn’t let up. In this episode, we’re digging into what’s behind that — and how to make accountability a normal, healthy part of how your team works, without being the ‘bad guy.’ We’re joined by  Leeat Bosco - a leadership and performance coach who’s spent years helping leaders get this right without losing trust, culture, or momentum. About our guest - Leeat Bosco is a leadership and performance coach with a background in psychology, behavior change, and facilitation. She’s known for helping leaders lead with clarity, courage, and coaching skills - turning tough conversations into trust-building moments. With nearly two decades of experience across research, strategy, and coaching, Leeat brings sharp insight and practical tools to every conversation.
