Practice Allowing Accountability

For others to trust us, we have to allow them to hold us accountable. It's absurb to believe that we should be trusted for any other reason.

I had someone say to me once, "all that I've done for you and you question me?" The fact that there's questioning at all shows a couple of things.

First, it could be that the questioner simply wants to verify what he trusts; that's smart trust.

Or, it could be the questioner has gotten bad results and is attempting to understand what happened.

Not practicing smart trust will get bad results because agendas change and when agendas change, behaviors change. When behaviors change, results change.

Be agreeable to either accountability or questionable behavior and bad results.

Your choice.
