What are leaders accountable for?
When you move into a position of leadership, you don’t get more power; you get more accountability.
Six key accountabilities that come with leadership:
- Strong character. The best leaders are integrated leaders. They live in alignment with their values. They earn respect from others through their own self-respect.
- Modeling personal development. Positional leaders set the tone of the culture. The best gift to your team is your own development that will inspire passion around you.
- An ownership mindset. The best leaders understand that all blame is a waste of time. They foster personal responsibility by modeling the way.
- A commitment to the strengths of team members. Most of us have little sense of our unique abilities. The best leaders build on people’s strengths, not their weaknesses.
- A results orientation. The best leaders have high standards and finish well. They are committed to building a culture oriented toward results.
- A servant mentality. Servant leadership focuses on supporting and empowering others to achieve results rather than accumulating power or personal gain.
