Well said. Here are a few that have worked particularly well for me and teams I’ve led:
Clearly define ownership early
When kicking off a project, I make sure every deliverable has a single owner. This means no vague “team” assignments—if a task is on the table, someone’s name is attached to it.
Accountability check-ins
Establish regular rhythms (weekly syncs or biweekly updates) where owners must report progress on their specific contributions. Even if a project doesn’t feel urgent, these check-ins create a sense of ongoing accountability. No one wants to show up empty-handed.

Thanks for sharing Joel! These are definitely great tactics to keep the project moving in the right direction.
