Accountability Huddle Kit
The Accountability Huddle Kit contains a set of quick-reference cards your leaders can use to facilitate reviews of the Culture Partners’ Accountability model. These Huddles help foster an environment of positive accountability and create an expectation for your team members to return and report on their experience applying the Accountability tools.
Overview
Leaders reserve the first 10 minutes of existing team meetings to walk through an Accountability Huddle Kit card activity that reviews a previously covered Accountability concept. There are 15 different Accountability Huddle cards covering the Steps to Accountability and other topics. They begin with a review of takeaways from the last Accountability Huddle, then a discussion based around an Accountability concept, and then an activity for your team to apply what they have learned about that concept.
