Accountability isn’t sexy.
But you know what is?

Winning. Showing up and owning every goal.
Hitting every target until success becomes inevitable.

Elite performers don’t just accept accountability - they demand it.
They know: no accountability, no growth.

Here's how you can bake accountability into performance goals.
It comes from Hamish Knox: The MAP process.

MAP = Minimal Acceptable Performance

Here’s how it works.

1/ You define a precise role and goal.
2/ Then 3 measurable weekly behaviours you must complete to succeed.
3/ Double-check these are observable actions.
4/ Review progress weekly.

If you consistently underperform, you have a candid conversation with your coach.

Their role as a coach isn’t to be popular—it’s to help you succeed.

Keep evolving the MAP:
⇥ Update it based on performance improvements and business needs.
⇥ Get feedback from your team members.

Why this works:
↳ Sets clear expectations.
↳ Catches issues and wins early.
↳ Creates a structured pathway.
↳ Builds accountability with support and challenge.

Demand accountability - if you want peak performance. It’s not optional.

Does consultative selling work with public sector clients? In my last post, I recommended Consultative Selling by Mack Hanan.
