Nick Saban said, "There are 3 things we can't have: We can't have complacency, we can't have selfishness, and we can't lose our accountability."
Accountability means taking ownership.
It means holding everyone to the standard.
Accountability is not only what you do, but also what you don't do.
It's foundational to trust and building trust within yourself and your team.
Success doesn't happen without accountability.
6 Principles of Accountability:
1. Acceptance - It means acknowledging your responsibilities and taking ownership of your actions to move forward. Know what you want, believe in it, and make it a priority. Be clear and specific about your values, standards, and environment.
2. Clarity - It means defining the standard and the expectations you expect from yourself and others. This is essential for communication. When you have a clear standard, you have a roadmap to follow, and it makes accountability much easier.
3. Honesty - Be honest with yourself and others. Be truthful and transparent about your actions, decisions, and outcomes, even when they are challenging or unfavorable. Build trust and credibility by being honest with others (and yourself) when you don't meet the standard that was set.
4. Courage - Have the courage to admit mistakes, address problems, and take corrective actions. There will be times you fall short, but having courage means demonstrating a consistent commitment to accountability and growth. By being courageous, you build confidence in the process.
5. Leadership - People do what people see. Set the tone and be the example of change that you want to see. Leadership means leading others and leading yourself by embracing the standard. When leaders hold themselves accountable, it sets an example for others to follow.
6. Trust - Accountability thrives in an environment of trust. When you trust yourself, you know what to expect. When you trust others, you can expect them to stick to their word because you know their values, standards, and what they stand for. Communication is easier when you trust people.
"Failing to hold someone accountable is ultimately an act of selfishness." - Patrick Lencioni
You should always bet on yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself enough to go all in on your dreams, why would anyone else? Push your chips to the center of the table, go all in on your dreams and fully commit to the hard work it takes to achieve them.
