Accountability refers to the obligation and willingness to take account for our own actions, but as a leader we often have different layers of accountability besides our own. We are accountable for our teams, our organisation and our work. So how can a leader lead in ways that promote principles of accountability amongst their teams? 

This month we were joined by Pauline McKeown (CEO of Coolmine Therapeutic Community) and Dr. Orlaigh Quinn (former Secretary General of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment). 

We discussed accountability and asked some tough questions like: 

• How important is accountability?  

• How do we hold our teams accountable but in a psychologically safe way? 

• What happens when leaders are not accountable in their roles? 

• How do we hold ourselves accountable as leaders?
