Real accountability isn’t built at the check-in — it’s built at the commitment. This reads where yours holds and where it slips. Six questions.
Answer for how accountability actually works on your team. The questions look at whether commitments are clear, freely made, and reliably closed — without it turning into nagging or blame.
The Accountability Diagnostic is a free accountability culture assessment from Impact Thinking — 6 statements, about three minutes, built directly on the frameworks published on our research desk. It reads where commitments stop binding — the clarity of the promise, the freedom to decline, peer accountability, and whether misses surface early or late.
It’s built for leaders who are tired of chasing and teams tired of being chased. The free read returns your band and profile immediately, with an interpretation of what the result means and the one thing it suggests you can’t currently see. It pairs with Conversations for Action, the programme built on the same ground.
It reads where commitments stop binding — the clarity of the promise, the freedom to decline, peer accountability, and whether misses surface early or late. It reads 6 statements and returns a banded profile with a deep interpretation.
About three minutes — 6 statements on a five-point scale. The read is free and immediate: your band, your profile, and the blind spot it points to. A full personalised report, benchmarked against other leaders, is £95; a whole-team report is £495.
It’s a structured self-assessment built on the frameworks published on our research desk — designed for development, team performance and measurement, not for hiring decisions. For selection contexts we run structured engagements where instruments inform, and never replace, human judgment.
Build the accountability at the moment of the promise — clear conditions, freely given, said back — and the commitment does the holding. Chasing means the promise was broken before it was made; the diagnostic finds where.
