One question arises<\/b> How can management committees transform their management teams into truly accountable and co-responsible actors? And all this while remaining demanding yet supportive?, without falling into complacency or excessive control? <\/b>What a challenge!<\/p>

Organizations often encounter the same paradox: ambitious strategies defined by the management committee, but uneven implementation across management teams<\/b>. Too often, decisions get lost in complexity, responsibilities become diluted and collective momentum falters, a bit like a ship whose captain knows the course, but where the crew rows without coordination.<\/p>

This is where accountability comes in.<\/b> This ability to take responsibility for one's commitments, to hold each other accountable, and also to support and challenge one's peers. For an executive committee, developing this culture within management teams is one of the most powerful levers for transforming an organization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is accountability and why is it important?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Accountability is an English word that doesn't really translate into French. The literal translation is "responsibility," but it goes further and isn't limited to "being responsible for one's task." In his book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, Jossey-Bass<\/a>, In 2002, Patrick Lencioni explained that it also means taking responsibility for the results of the team as a whole. It's a collective act. Each manager is responsible for their own results, but also for their impact on the performance of all the other teams.<\/b> It can be compared to a GPS system: it allows each manager to know where they are going, to correct their trajectory and to stay aligned with the strategic destination.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For a management committee<\/a>, This compass is essential: It transforms commitments into concrete and measurable actions and allows us to stay on course collectively.<\/b>. Without shared responsibility, teams risk working in silos, with impaired trust in other teams, a lack of constructive confrontations regarding results, and therefore impaired performance.<\/p>

For a management committee, accountability is doubly important:<\/p>
