Practice Accountability, Part 2.

Covey's second dimension of practicing accountability is to hold others accountable. (p. 200) If someone says they're going to do something by a certain date, hold them to it. Here's what he says:

They want to be held accountable. They feel trust grow with bosses, leaders, team members, peers, and other stakeholders as they are given the opportunity to account for performing well. They also feel the increase of their own self-trust and self-confidence as they repeatedly make and keep performance commitments.

My own take on this is, if you want to be accountable, write down what you're going to do. Then stick to it.

My goal here is to help entrepreneurs climb all the way to the top. How am I doing?

Entrepreneurship is the life's blood of all my professional activities. It makes them go. It informs my connection strategy.

It makes Sherpa Real Estate , my real estate referral business, go. See www.yourstopforrealestate.blogspot.com.
