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

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

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.

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 Thinking Behind the Tweet

Do what I say not what I do does not cut it. Probably, most of us can remember incidents when we were children and adults in positions of authority gave us instructions that they themselves did not follow. To the extent that happened, we learned to resist instructions that came to us as do what I say not what I do. As we gained experience and confidence our resistance to these inconsistent demands increased. Now, we have much trouble following instructions from people who do not lead by example. And, we distrust those who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.

When we don't know the Why behind the problem our solutions do little to stop repeated errors.
