What Accountability Looks Like in Action

Kaylah Rainey signs her letter of intent with Northwestern … and Northwestern becomes a national role model for accountability. The only time you become an effective leader is when you are accountable. And you only become accountable when you are committed. Commitment is at the very core of accountability and true leadership. If the leader is committed, then everyone will be committed! This is a very simple concept, yet you’d be surprised how many leaders

It’s All of Us

Community service is not a punishment. Accountability is not a way of doing; it is a way of thinking. Accountability is keeping your commitments to people … and a commitment is No Matter What.

Accountability really is the highest form of leadership. In “The 100,” his fascinating survey ranking the most influential human beings ever to walk the earth, author Michael Hart placed Albert Einstein at #10, well ahead of such figures as Julius Caesar, Martin Luther, and William Shakespeare.

Spring Training Lesson: Accountable Leadership Means the Rookie Has a Voice

When I talk about accountability, a lot of leaders assume I’m talking about the team’s accountability to the leader. Actually, the whole process starts with the leader’s accountability and their ability to follow through on commitments to the team. One of the most important of those commitments is the leader’s commitment to make sure everyone feels safe in sharing insights and opinions…whether that’s someone who’s been with your organization for years, or someone who just
