Habits - Hold yourself accountable

“Let’s face it, nobody likes to admit to making a mistake, but in order to be successful, learning to hold yourself and your colleagues accountable is essential. Accountability is something people want, though it can be difficult to uphold. To be truly accountable to others, you need to first be accountable to yourself. Once you have a clear idea where you or your company is headed, you are able to set the right goals to keep yourself and your team on track for success each day. Stripping away the cycle of blame and excuses and replacing it with a culture of accountability can be stressful at first, but in my experience, has proven to be my most valuable asset in the long run, in both my personal life and professional career.”
