Accountability Chart Template (Free & ready to use)
Same story, different teams: overlapping responsibilities, slow decisions, and no one really sure who’s in charge. Sound familiar? Well, it’s about time to fix that! Our EOS-based accountability chart brings clarity, defines roles, assigns ownership, and gets your team truly accountable.
Using an Accountability Chart in ®EOS
Time to break up with your old organization chart. You know, the one that shows who reports to who but not who’s actually responsible for what.
Our EOS accountability chart template flips the script. So forget job titles and hierarchy and focus on what really matters: roles, responsibilities, and who owns what.
Perfect for EOS leadership teams, implementers, and growing businesses, it clears up the “who does what” drama so nothing falls through the cracks.
Think of it as your employee accountability template: cutting through the org chart fog and making ownership crystal clear.
Turn your Accountability Chart into a living system with Success.co for free
This template is a great starting point but with Success.co’s free plan, your Accountability Chart becomes easier to update, always accessible, and connected to how your team actually works!
Our accountability chart template is a simple spreadsheet designed to help you map your team’s key seats and clearly assign ownership to each role.
Built using EOS® principles, the template is organized around function-based roles. Each row represents a seat that needs to be owned and not a vague or overloaded job title. One person can hold multiple seats, and those seats can evolve without forcing you to rebuild the entire structure.
If “who owns this?” comes up a little too often, well this template is for you.
We recommend this template for EOS implementors and Traction leadership teams, growing businesses defining roles, teams experiencing role overlap or confusion, and small to mid-sized teams that want clarity.
The template is designed to clearly separate roles from people and make accountability simple. It includes:
Seat list: all the core seats your business needs to run smoothly.
Accountability Chart: where each seat has one accountable owner, a short list of key responsibilities, and a clear “reports to” relationship.
Team list: a simple directory of team members used to assign people to seats.
The short answer is yes!
While our template is built in Google Sheets, it’s easy to export it to Excel if that’s what you prefer.
That said, spreadsheets do have their limits, especially when it comes to version control, which can sometimes lead to… let’s say, slightly messy updates.
So start with our Accountability Chart spreadsheet, and when you’re ready to level up, Success.co makes collaboration easier and keeps everything clearly structured and always up to date.
