The seven barriers to accountability success and some simple actions you can use to move ahead:
1. Overwhelm – start with the easiest task
2. Overambition – start saying ‘no’
3. Not having a plan – break tasks into small chunks
4. The impact of past problems - review the positive and negative and learn
5. Not knowing where to start – find the first small step to build momentum
6. No reason to get it done – make sure it’s aligned with you and your role
7. No one cares – find someone who can help with your progress.

3. Where do you want to be with the task?
4. What's stopping you from getting there?
5. How do you want to get there - what's your motivating factor?
Old vs new tech - ‘wall charts and butcher’s paper’ or online tech tools, it’s whatever works best for you
How high-performing leaders have found achievement simply by removing overwhelm
Darren’s personal story of accountability success.
