We don't want to look bad. We don't want anyone to judge us poorly.\\nWhen we set a goal and share that goal with someone, it might be frightening. What if the person laughs at our goal? This is a statement of our intentions. This is typically a bold statement of accomplishment. How will we feel if we get push-back from someone we respect and someone we want to see us in a favorable light?\\nThere are two sides to accountability:\\n\\n* We commit to someone and become vulnerable to that person. If we fall short of our stated goal, then we risk criticism. This is the risk side of accountability that motivates us to succeed.\\n* We commit to someone and they become our partner in accomplishing our plan. We don't need to ask. We can't expect this cooperation. They know what we intend, so they know how to provide support.\\n\\nAccountability is a major component to leadership success.\\nAccountability is a major component to running success.\\nNo person can help me reach my running goals.\\nEveryone can help me reach my business and life goals.\\nWrite your goals. Share your goals. Start taking action immediately. Keep a journal. Share your success.\\nLet the world bring you energy.\\nCelebrate!\\n(My running goal for this month is 40 miles - posted on my social sites.)\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
