The project started like most do \u2013 by scanning the internet, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) to aid our search \u2013 to learn what research says about the potential to improve workplace accountability.

It\u2019s an individual-centric model. That\u2019s very clear in the popular RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) model for operational planning that was created in the 1950s, and taught consistently through today. The conclusion of the RACI chart is simple: one person is held accountable. It\u2019s aligned with the hierarchical, chain of command traditional culture, a style that has been slowly eroding.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1990s, the dialogue shifted to a plural, collective discussion by Jon R. Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smith, from their book&nbsp;<em>The Discipline of Teams<\/em>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/1993\/03\/the-discipline-of-teams-2\">featured in Harvard Business Review<\/a>. The point of their work: \u201cNo group ever becomes a team until it can hold itself accountable as a team.\u201d By suggesting that a team is only a team when its members hold themselves accountable, the central discussion about accountability changed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s happening right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Managers know now that positive teamwork is important and expected. They know that encouraging employees to think of, and engage in, team accountability is challenging. The new, modern open system workplace where people are often on four or more teams, creates a tangible challenge.\u00a0\u00a0A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2020\/11\/how-to-actually-encourage-employee-accountability?registration=success\">2020 Harvard Business Review article<\/a>\u00a0on fostering workplace accountability reported:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>91% of employees think \u201ceffectively holding others accountable\u201d is one of their company\u2019s top leadership development needs. And 82% of managers acknowledge they have \u201climited to no\u201d ability to hold others accountable successfully.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The call for new accountability research is now.
