Accountability, when approached positively, can be a transformative force to higher performance, better moral and motivation, and a more satisfying employee experience. By setting clear expectations, building trust, encouraging ownership, proving feedback, and promoting a growth mindset, leaders will create an environment where accountability is embraced as a catalyst for individual and team success.

If you need to direct a leader to engage, then there is probably a good chance they may not be great at it, because, if they were, they would already be engaging.

Everybody is motivated by different things, and good will is a primary motivator for many people.
