Accelerate Action
From teamwork to individual accountability
“Teams inspire, individuals perspire.”
—John Tucci, co-developer of the Ideas-to-Action Process1
Chapter at a glance: Even strong-starting teams can stall without the right balance of group dynamics and individual ownership. This chapter shows how to convert launch meeting enthusiasm into sustained action by making accountability personal while maintaining team support. Learn how the Ideas-to-Action Process helps teams distribute workload, track progress, and achieve results through clear individual commitments backed by group encouragement.
THOSE FORTY-EIGHT PROMISING IDEAS from your launch meeting have somehow turned into a string of delays and excuses:
“Was that idea assigned to me? I thought someone else was taking that one.”
“You know, I’ve given it more thought, and I’m not sure the idea assigned to me is feasible.”
“I’ve been trying to make time for it, but things have been so hectic.”
“It’s going great! But I’ll have an update at the next meeting.”
“I understand we want to start with quick wins, but will we address the Push-Up Ideas we identified? Those might be the real game-changers!”
This pivot point—when launch meeting enthusiasm meets execution reality—is where most teams stumble. While Chapter Five’s tools help teams generate great ideas, turning those ideas into action requires something more: personal commitment backed by team support.
