In this episode, we talk honestly about accountability and why it’s one of the biggest struggles inside trades companies. Many owners and managers avoid holding their team to clear expectations, and that hesitation slowly wears down performance, culture, and trust. We’ve been there ourselves. We know what it feels like to avoid a tough conversation, and we know the relief that comes when everyone understands what’s expected. We share stories from leading a large team and how accountability helped us keep the right people and support the ones who wanted to grow.
We also break down what accountability looks like in real day-to-day work. That includes setting clear deadlines, checking progress, following up, and speaking up when something needs attention. It isn’t about being strict or heavy-handed. It’s about helping people succeed and keeping the business running smoothly. We talk through why accountability always begins with leadership and how one person who sets the tone can shift an entire team. If you’re trying to create consistency, build stronger habits, or steady your company, this conversation will give you steps you can use right away.
