I ran across this great quote from Ed Kless on the Verasage blog today:
"Accountability is not something [that] can be imposed, but rather chosen." – Ed Kless
Ed goes on to explain how leaders need to be clear about expectations if they want others to be accountable.
I think this also applies to ourselves as business owners. We cannot hire someone to "make us accountable". We have to chose to be held accountable. A coach or a consultant can help us and give us feedback, but ultimately, we must choose to clearly define our goals (expectations) and choose to be held accountable for working towards them.
