1. Accountability

You’d be surprised at how many people incorrectly think they’ve already mastered this one. Personal accountability doesn’t have to do with everyday actions like showing up for work or taking your kids to baseball practice on time.

It functions on a much more radical level:

• You stop blaming other people and circumstances for how you feel or for what has happened.
• You fully own your part in your results, even while recognizing other potential contributors to what has unfolded.
• You own exactly what’s yours and you hold others to owning what’s theirs.
