More Accountability

By Abe Newmeyer, March 23, 2022

Decisions & ActionDiscipline & Habits

During two recent conversations, I discovered some deficiencies. I haven’t been able to fulfill some of the responsibilities I’d committed to. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed. I’ve been procrastinating. I’ve been reluctant to finish, or even starting projects.

I’m not sure what’s causing my reluctance. There could be a myriad of reasons, but I’m honestly clueless. What I know is the problem. I don’t know the solution, but I may have a possibility. More accountability, more people, more meetings, more action, and more clarity.

It’s time for action. I’ve built a team of champions. Experts in their chosen profession willing to share their knowledge. I haven’t been living up to my end of the deal. I was ill prepared for two meetings yesterday. That’s unacceptable and will not happen again.

I consider that theft. It’s theft of services. Theft of expertise. I may very well be stealing my champion’s willingness to assist others in the future. I’m no thief. ! I’ll do better. Not just for me, but for those following in my footsteps and those who’ve walked the path previously.

Today, Wednesday, March 23, 2022, I am grateful that:

I have a team to be accountable to. Normally that requires employment and a boss or supervisor, but not in my case.

Some days are just one or two items and I don’t have to stretch to find more.

Do you steal the time of others?

Are you prepared for meetings?

What else can you add to the meetings you attend?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
