Is your team missing targets, dropping the ball, or responding to missed deadlines with a shrug? Many leaders believe accountability is a personality trait—you either have it or you don’t. But in reality, accountability is a design problem . When ownership is lacking, it’s usually because the \"work design\" itself is getting in the way. In this episode, Rachel shares a case study of a pharmaceutical manufacturer where low accountability wasn't just a frustration, it was a safety risk. You’ll learn the results of a real-world \"work design pulse check\" and the five simple, high-impact tweaks that transformed a culture of \"oh well\" into a culture of \"I’ve got this.\" Modern Mentor is a Quick and Dirty Tips Podcast , hosted by Rachel Cooke!
