A Frequently Asked Question from Lee Ellis –
Question:
“What are the top 3 positive ways to act responsibly and be accountable as a leader?”
Answer:
Commitment. Be intentional about doing your duty. It’s the essence of servant leadership, and others are depending on you. Whatever your responsibility, just decide to do it and make it a non-negotiable.
Ownership. Care about what you’re doing. Act as though you were the owner. Someone said that no one washes a rental car before turning it in because they don’t own it.
Courage. Fulfilling your duty isn’t easy. You’ll have to pay the price, take risks, and walk the hard road to do your duty. Temptation will come to cut corners and rationalize your actions to avoid accountability. Courage provides the confidence and energy to keep you focused on your goal of living and leading with honor. Own your mistakes, and work to do better in the future.”
