Re:Has your team moved into the pain zone? 5 Months ago
I agree. Accountability is the key. Your team member has to hold himself accountable and his leader and peers should as well.
I always like to use this example:
This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it. But Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
