What role does ACCOUNTABILITY play in building trust in your workplace? <\/strong><\/p>\n

A BIG one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ac\"\"<\/a>countability is the second of *12 behaviors in our Tap Into Trust (TAP) framework<\/a> having now\u00a0been accessed over 150,000 times in 16 languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust Across America-Trust Around the World created The “Art” of Trust visual “cues” to start a discussion about behaviors in the workplace that build and weaken trust. Together these cues form a “Wall” of Trust, telling a story to enhance learning and retention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the context of a team, we define Accountability as follows:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We hold one another accountable – <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

we each take responsibility without regard to level or role.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Over 600 survey respondents identified accountability as the top behavior weakening trust in their workplace (over 43%). If accountability is lacking on your team how do you begin to address it? These are two discussion questions our Trust Alliance members suggest to improve trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do we hold people accountable in a principle-centered rather than punitive way?\u00a0 <\/span>If not, how do we change this?<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Do our accountability discussions demonstrate that we are on the same team?\u00a0 <\/span>If not, how can we help team members take collective responsibility?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The “Art” of Trust\u00a0 is one of many resources designed for this year’s Trust Action Project t<\/strong>o help leaders, teams and organizations move from trust talk to ACTION in 2021 and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n
