Be accountable if you want to hold others accountable.

Think of accountability as having someone in the boat with you.

Who rows with you?

Shout your goals from the rooftop. Secrets protect. Accountability requires transparency. Your team should know if you’re developing the skill of dealing with tough situations, for example.

Who knows your growth and performance goals?

Seek feedback.

You make yourself accountable when you ask others to tell you what they see.

Ask behavior-based questions about specific objectives.

“I’m working on bringing up tough situations in a more timely way.

What do you see me doing?  How might I improve?”
