Accountability

It seems like we live in a time where nobody wants to be held accountable and everyone is pointing fingers, placing blame on others.  Owning the outcome of our own decisions seems a lost character trait.  Great leaders take responsibility and don’t use blame as a deflector.  It is honorable and respectful to be accountable; it builds character and develops loyal followers.  Accountability is the foundation to collaborative teamwork.  While it is certainly easy to always place blame elsewhere, it is seldom productive.  Are you accountable for your own actions?

“The search for someone to blame is always successful.”
