In this episode, Michele Cushatt and I discuss the topic of accountability in leadership. Most leaders avoid it. Real leaders embrace it.



The reason is that taking responsibility for your attitudes, actions, and overall results is tremendously liberating. Attempting to avoid accountability—playing the victim—keeps you stuck.

Listen to the Audio

Identify to whom are you accountable?
Use the pronoun I and own your results.
Be specific about your decisions and the outcomes.
Don’t wallow in remorse or self-pity.
Take actions to correct problems you create.


As a leader, when you make a mistake, own it. It will restore people’s confidence and increase your influence.

In this episode, Michele Cushatt and I discuss the importance of character and the forces that shape it.



Charisma may be useful in attracting a following, but it is largely useless when it comes to achieving a long-term, positive impact on the people and organizations we lead. For this, we need character. Effective leadership is an inside-out job.

I talk a lot about platform on my blog and in my podcast. But the ultimate platform—the root system under the oak tree—is your character. Your character is ultimately the thing that’s going to shape your future, your impact, and your influence in the world, so it’s important that we pay attention to those forces that shape it.
