This is the 16th episode in David’s CALM series that is designed to help you to become a better leader. This time around he covers self-accountability. Leaders who do not hold themselves accountable will not be trusted and followed by their teams, so this is an important episode.

In it, David shares seven effective ways to create more accountability for yourself and includes exercises you can do to practice those methods.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Accountability is defined as delivering what you promise in the eyes of others.
• Both you and your team members need to commit to the expected outcomes, so that you move forwards together.
• If you are not providing your team with the right support and tools you are not being accountable.
• Be open about the challenges you are facing.
• Set the right goals and continually work on being the person you need to be.
• Accountability buddies make the chances of your achieving your goals soar to 90%.
• Do things that make you commit in advance, e.g. put some cash in an account that you can only spend when you have achieved a certain goal.
• Create a wins list and add to it daily to keep yourself motivated. The wins you add to it don’t have to be huge ones.

BEST MOMENTS
‘It starts with you…accountability cuts two ways,’

‘Focus on who you need to be.’

‘Ask - what’s the most important thing I should be doing right now? Do this on a regular basis.’

‘Change your mindset from having to do stuff to the fact that you get to do things. ’

ABOUT THE SHOW
People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
