The Recap

“It’s not my job!” When silos run workplace dynamics and the “not-my-job” mantra leaves projects disconnected, the likely culprit is the “hierarchy mindset.” For many organizations, a hierarchical structure is a good fit, but the mindset of having to operate out of a little box on an organizational chart, can limit creativity and innovation, starve collaborations, and keep projects from crossing the finish line on time and to the company’s quality standard. Join Kari Granger and Paul Adams as they examine an alternative way of relating to our positions and coordinating actions -- no matter how your company is structured.  

Tweetable Moments

“Spheres of accountability ultimately is a mindset, and it also can be turned into a structure.”

“If that’s my sphere of accountability, I’m 100% accountable. I accept 100% of the responsibility for taking effective and productive action within that entire sphere (domain) — including the areas of overlap.”

“I always bring focus to my sphere. I’m accountable for my sphere. Yet, I never forget the big picture of all different spheres and the interconnectivity between them.”

“My accountability only makes sense in light of everything else.”

“That is a key takeaway: write down what people are accountable for and who else you overlap with in that accountability in your organization.”
