* Take ownership of explaining the why behind standards *

When building a high performance winning team and holding people accountable, it is important for leaders to take ownership of explaining why standards are important. By doing so, leaders can help individuals understand how meeting these standards will benefit them. This approach is not about beating people down, but rather educating and training them. Leaders should connect the importance of standards to the overall mission and how it can create more opportunities for success. By consistently explaining the why behind standards, leaders can foster a culture of understanding and encourage team members to hold each other accountable.
