If you're leading leaders, accountability is the first thing that breaks. You're not overloaded. You just rely too much on your own individual brilliance to get results. Until you learn to lead your leaders better, you'll never get out of the spin cycle.


A few weeks ago, Em and I sat in a room with six CEOs we've been working with for the better part of a year. We asked each of them to rate their own leadership performance, as founder CEOs, on a scale of 1 to 10. When it came to how well they'd built a strong accountability cadence in their business, all but one rated themselves at six or below.


Here's the interesting part. Every single one of them could describe the problem accurately. Diagnosing it wasn't hard. Changing it is incredibly difficult. Nobody in that room needed new information.


That's the whole game. It's not about not knowing what to do. It's all in the execution.


In this episode, Em and I give you the 12 execution breakthroughs that came out of that room. If you're the person everyone ultimately relies upon to get things done, this one's for you.


The 12 Execution Breakthroughs:

  1. Delegation without accountability is doomed to failure
  2. Rescuing people when they don't deliver doesn't help them, it limits their growth
  3. Accountability without empowerment is cruelty
  4. Micromanaging slows everything to glacial speed
  5. Standards need to be upheld all the way to the front line
  6. If you can't measure it, you can't hold people accountable for delivering it
  7. Lifting the pace requires pressure, lifting the standard requires conflict
  8. Structure in 1:1s builds the guardrails to connect fully with the individual
  9. Just because you've fixed the problem doesn't mean you've solved it
  10. Money is less important to people when they see a future path
  11. There's a big difference between being relaxed and being complacent
  12. Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life
