How often do you hear "these aren't my pants" at work—the blame game where no one claims responsibility when something goes wrong? What would happen if everyone in your organization understood that "my career is my responsibility" instead of pointing fingers? How do you create accountability that flows both up and down the org chart, not just top-down?

Launch into Season 4 of the Work Positive Podcast with a powerful conversation about building cultures of ownership and accountability.

Dr. Joey Faucette and Meredith Jones explore how HR infrastructure, personal responsibility, and two-way accountability transform work cultures from blame-filled to breakthrough-driven. Meredith is the author of "My Career is My Responsibility" and helps organizations build strong HR systems that create accountability while fostering trust. Listen as Meredith explores:

☀️ Why accountability is a two-way street—employees can hold managers accountable too ☀️ How HR is a vital bloodline that impacts EBITDA more than any other lever you can pull ☀️ The erosion of cause-and-effect thinking in society and what it costs organizations ☀️ Why asking "What are your priorities and how can I help?" beats being a taskmaster ☀️ The game-changing truth: just because a topic is difficult doesn't mean the conversation has to be difficult

Meredith transforms how leaders think about accountability by proving that empowerment and ownership create better results than compliance and control.

🔑 Key Insight: "You can't fix what you don't know. Be confident enough to have difficult conversations. Just because the topic is difficult, it doesn't mean that conversation has to be difficult. There's an art and a skill to learning those things, but don't be afraid to approach tough subjects and achieve amazing results."

💡 Your DOT (Do One Thing): Start promoting "my career is my responsibility" as a philosophy. If you understand this as a leader and encourage it with those you work with, it becomes contagious. It's exciting to see people feel empowered and take ownership of what they're doing and how they do it. Then, be confident enough to have one difficult conversation you've been avoiding this week.
