Shownotes

This episode of The Leader’s Kitbag is a little different. 

 

It’s a direct response to a brilliant question I received from Suma on TikTok about accountability, specifically, what to do when things fall through the cracks and your colleagues perceive you as not being accountable. 

 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

 

  • What accountability really means, and why it’s about everything we do 
  • The power of a genuine, no-excuses apology 
  • Why context matters, and how to offer it without deflecting 
  • How to ask what I can do to fix this, and really mean it 
  • The critical step we often skip: learning and adapting 

 

Whether you've been in this situation before or want to be ready for when it inevitably happens, this episode is packed with practical tips you can use immediately.
