Do people want to be accountable? I expect the answer is, "Yes".

People want independence, however, and perhaps even more, they want relationships. Trust is the essence of relationships and trust gets built slowly while it gets destroyed quickly.

Accountability reminds us to perform as we said we would. We want to be accountable and trusted so we can have quality relationships.

Inherent Accountability

by Rick Baker
On Aug 5, 2014

Top performers feel disappointed in themselves when they make errors or fail to achieve desired results. Then, quickly, they replace that thinking with confidence wise enough to know they will do better in the future.

It is quite normal for attitude to slip when problems and setbacks drain energy...after all power of will is a limited thing.

It is quite spectacular when confidence overtakes disappointment, frustration, and anger.

The more that happens the stronger the confidence.

You don’t have time to do a good job on those things today. Take comfort. Later, you will find time to do many of them over.

The same old problems

by Rick Baker
On Aug 4, 2014

It seems some people never tire of experiencing the same old problems. What peculiar stamina!

It seems some people never tire of fighting the same old battles, using the same old weapons, meeting the same old defeats. What peculiar stamina!

Perhaps most of us appear that way when viewed from others' perspectives?

Perhaps when observed by others most of us appear to obstinately cling to the bad habits that limit our ability to deal successfully with other people?

Perhaps my perceptions of other people's behaviour, as I watch them struggle, are too harsh?
