How do you build shared ownership in a team?
How you — as leader and member — build shared accountability. We start from the broken windows theory.
Workshop
A workshop on shared accountability for those who want to hold each other to your best — not as control, but as care for how you work together.
Martin Erichsen’s workshop on shared accountability is about holding each other to shared agreements. The workshop is for teams and departments — private and public. It typically lasts three hours. Martin gives it across Denmark and abroad — in Danish or English.
In high-performing teams, people don’t just mind their own. They take an interest in each other’s work, ask questions, and hold each other to shared agreements. Not as control — but as care for how you work together. These teams are 67% better at reaching their goals, even under pressure.
About the workshop in brief
A team with high shared accountability holds the standard together — and the leader doesn’t have to be the only one having the hard conversations. That creates a better working environment, because everyone knows what’s expected and no one has to guess.

From “mine” to “ours”. That’s the whole difference between owning your own work and owning each other’s.

Martin Erichsen’s talk — and especially the exercises along the way — created a fantastic spirit and team feeling.
There’s no doubt that good wellbeing is good medicine.
Martin Erichsen reminded us that a healthy work environment, communication and laughter are a proactive way of working with the patient’s health. Warm recommendations from us.
Martin’s entertaining workshop is relevant for the team, the leadership and the whole organisation.
Yes. It’s strongest alongside the themes of shared engagement and focus on the result. Engagement without accountability turns into good intentions. Accountability without focus turns into duty. Together, the three themes bring the dynamic that makes a team want the same thing — and hold each other to it.
Because the two aren’t the same. Research on team accountability shows that high individual accountability can sit right alongside low shared accountability. It’s the gap between them that lets tasks fall through the cracks. The workshop closes that gap by moving responsibility from “mine” to “ours”.
Perhaps especially then. Shared accountability is a discipline, not a state. Even high-performing teams slip back if it isn’t maintained. The workshop isn’t a correction, but a fine-tuning. Keeping what works, and removing the small habits that slowly erode the standard.
Martin runs workshops across Denmark and abroad. The workshop typically lasts three hours. Clients include Novo Nordisk, Vestas and Microsoft.
