July 12 – Today, I want to talk to you about ACCOUNTABILITY.
As you begin or continue on your self-leadership development journey, you will discover the one thing that will set you apart from the crowd: ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability is defined as the “quality or state of being accountable; especially : an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.”
Throughout life there will always be varying degrees (or levels) of accountability and you will encounter them all. How others project their level of accountability IS a direct reflection on who they are as leaders and as followers. Who are the ones willing to call shenanigans and the ones that would rather stick their head in the sand than to go face-to-face with the reality of addressing what must be addressed.
As a current and future leader, it serves you best to work on ACCOUNTABILITY (from a complete 360° degree perspective).
When it comes to prioritizing Accountability there is first how you hold yourself accountable. Then how you hold others accountable. Lastly, how others hold you accountable.
These three variations are non-negotiable and all of them must be mastered. However, make absolutely certain you begin with yourself long before you start to hold others accountable and/or questioning others that attempt to hold you accountable.
Join Me Tomorrow As We Continue Talking About Accountability.
REMEMBER: ACTION > WORDS
