WITH ACCOUNTABILITY COMES ACCOUNTABILITY: PAINFUL FOR SOME!

November 14, 2021November 13, 2021 by Nat Schooler


In today’s world, there is a lot of discussion on accountability. Accountability
can be difficult to find in the workplace and many people are struggling with
how to make this happen. In order for accountability to exist, it must come from
within an individual and the business they work in should not have a blame
culture.

Having spent a lot of time recently working with investors it got us thinking
about the lessons we have learnt from hearing their stories about the people
they meet. Today, we are discussing the nuances of life and how in our race to
achieve something, like accountability.

There are both costs to doing something and the cost of not doing it.

With exposure there is a risk of being exposed and if you don’t have a reason to
be in a meeting why would you attend. It could expose you for wasting company
time and resources as one example.

In the video and podcast below Kim-Adele explains why with accountability comes
accountability!




WITH ACCOUNTABILITY COMES ACCOUNTABILITY!

So yes, you want to get exposure for your people. Yes. You want the board to be
able to see that you’ve got talent in your team. You also want to ensure that
they’re not exposed. They’re not put in a position that they’re not ready for
yet so that they can’t answer. So taking the time to think about what is it
you’re trying to achieve? And are you ready for it is really important. And if
you want to be accountable, if you are accountable – you are accountable!

So if you’ve got the accountability, you are then accountable for making it
happen. And it might sound really obvious, but you’d be amazed how many people
don’t understand that and are almost taken aback when they are held to account
for the thing that they are accountable for.

We live in a world of polarity for every up there’s a down for every left
there’s a right. So there’s always the opposite side to every coin that’s being
shown.

When you’re seeking investment, you already know not only the happy path, but
you know, what could happen if it goes wrong and you have a plan of what you
will do in that eventuality because they’re looking for is somebody that
understands that whilst that is what you’re trying to do, something might not go
to plan. And therefore, are you aware of what that might be? And do you already
have a plan of what you do if that were to happen?


WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY

With great power comes great responsibility, right? those people are in essence
trusting you and your company with their money. And if you are to take that
responsibility of someone’s money. To just take the money and not actually be
accountable for that is a, is a huge mistake.

But equally what you’re doing when you’re pitching to an investor in the first
instance is you’re trying to demonstrate to them that you’re a good bet. That
you’re a good risk. Most investors and most investment houses know that they are
taking a risk, but it’s about taking a calculated risk that sits within their
risk appetite, whatever that risk appetite is.

So what they’re looking for is to understand your idea on a deeper level, does
it make sense? Do they believe in it? But then what they’re looking for is do
they believe in you?

The person that’s seeking the investment, do they think you’ve got what it takes
to be able to bring that to life and make that happen? And do they think it’s
do-able?

Do they think the plan that you’ve got is going to work? And as we know, from
the studies by Harvard, the majority of people don’t have a written down goal,
but those people that had a written down goal and had a plan, even if the plan
wasn’t actually a working plan, they had a plan nevertheless.

When they started to put a plan together. Thinking that started to take the
right steps. Beginning with “How might I get from where I am to where I want to
go?” Delivered results, 10 times those of the people that had got even just an
idea and not a written down plan of where to get to.

So that’s really what the investor is looking for; have you looked at it and
said, I’m asking you to believe in me, believing in my ability to make this
business work, to make this idea, turn into something. So to do that, you want
to be able to take them through the steps that you’re going to take and show
that you are taking real accountability for your role because you’re really
trying to sell to them. It’s the first person you’re going to sell to, you are
selling it to them.

And then from their money, you’re going to be able to build what it is you’re
looking to build, go out and market it and start selling to your end customer.

So bearing that in mind, think about what would give you confidence if you were
the one with the money; that this is a good opportunity for me to invest my
money and a good chance of return. We often focus just on the money. It’s like
if we do a really good job with the numbers and we say, you know, he’d give me
10 pounds and I’m going to give 10 million. And we think all of a sudden was
going to buy into that.

Well, they’re going to need to know that that’s likely and might sound great. It
might look very plausible, but actually, do you know the steps that you’re going
to need to take? Do you have the right route to market? Are you different
enough? Is there something unique enough about what you’re doing that makes it
likely that you’re going to be able to succeed and taking it through those steps
really does help.

It’s down to the team that you are bringing on as advisors in the beginning.
Researching and looking at the skills, abilities, the track records of the
people who make up the management team, that will give an investor and
investment house a lot of confidence.

Whether you’re seeking investment or you’re just running your own business and
you don’t need that sort of investment, getting the right team around you is
crucial. And really what you want to be doing is finding people that are strong
at the things you’re not strong at, which means you’ve got to be really
self-aware.

You’ve got to know what it is that you’re not good at what it is that you don’t
enjoy, or that you’re not really very adept at because once you know those,
they’re the, they’re the skills that you are now going to go and recruit. And
hopefully, you’ll recruit people that are brilliant at the things that you’re
not very good at. Good at the things you’re not brilliant at. So actually both
of you grow as a result of it, but it’s about getting that collective.

In a nutshell, it’s often where ego gets in the way because we’re told not to
share that we’re not good at something. We have to get past that ego and say I
know I’m not good at this or I can do it but it’s actually not something that
brings me joy. Website building is an example where I’m asked to create the
website but it doesn’t bring me joy.

The people we work with are crucial. As investors talk about the challenges of
getting the right team. One of those challenges is accountability. It’s about
knowing what you’re not good at and delegating those tasks to someone who is
better than you, so you can spend more time doing what you’re amazing at.

It’s also about taking accountability for your actions and making sure that
things happen, and that people know what needs to be done and what has been
done. Accountability starts with accountability to yourself first, acknowledging
the skills that you have and which ones you need more of. Accountability also
means taking responsibility for your actions like giving deadlines and following
up on them.

The most successful people find the people who are good at what they’re not. The
most successful people have strong accountability to themselves and their
actions. You need to identify your skills, choose the work you enjoy and be
honest about what you’re not good at.

The difference between accountability and blame culture has been highlighted. It
is important to note that shame does not help anyone grow or evolve. A blame
culture can lead to people feeling like failures which discourage them from
taking any risks. Accountability, on the other hand, leads to people
understanding beforehand how something can go wrong and instead of dwelling on
past mistakes, they try to learn from them and make changes.

The whole point of it is to constantly keep looking at how you can continually
improve. We follow the Japanese “Kaizen” approach.
