Behavior that Builds or Maintains Trust #10: Practice Accountability Part 1

Covey (The Speed of Trust, 2006, p. 200) says There are two dimensions to this....The first is to hold yourself accountable."He goes further:

This behavior is built on the principles of accountability, responsibility, stewardship, and ownership. The opposite of this behavior is not take responsibility, not to own up, but rather to say 'It's not my fault.' It's counterfeit is to point fingers and blame others, to say, 'It's their fault.' (p. 201)

Hold yourself accountable, and people are more likely to do the same (p. 203).
