Build the Machine: Accountability, Recognition, and Momentum

High performance is a system, not a mood. This final lesson shows you how to install simple rhythms: accountability that doesn't feel like policing, recognition that reinforces the right behavior, and a monthly review that keeps the team improving. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to: 1. Set up a simple accountability rhythm with a weekly check-in and a shared tracker, and run it for three consecutive weeks. 2. Give two pieces of public recognition per week for one month, each tied to a specific behavior and result. 3. Review team performance monthly and make at least one process improvement that removes a bottleneck the team identified.
