But this isn’t always easy! Speaking hard truths\, even when we have great intentions\, is sometimes difficult. \nThe STRIVE Group can help! \nPeer accountability in teams is underpinned by three key behaviors: psychological safety and trust\, clarity around roles\, and a willingness to have hard conversations as frequently as needed.
