Ep. 544 - More Accountability, Feat. Ryan Schmitt & Lauren Atwell

Jason Schroeder sits down with Lauren Atwell and Ryan Schmidt to break down what real accountability actually requires. They introduce a simple formula, leadership plus management equals accountability, and explain why saying sorry or admitting fault is only the first step, not the whole thing. Drawing from Extreme Ownership and other leadership books, the conversation closes with a practical way to diagnose a struggling team by working the trust triangle backward.
