Great leaders don’t make excuses.
They make things happen.
They don’t look for someone to blame.
They look for solutions and stay accountable.
As Bruce Gordon said:
Things either happen to you or
they happen because of you.
So, where do you stand?
Accountable leaders climb the ladder:
1️⃣ Make it happen: “I’ve got this, and I’ll follow through.”
2️⃣ Own it: “This is my responsibility, and I’ll take action.”
3️⃣ Find solutions: “There’s still time, I’ll make it happen.”
4️⃣ Acknowledge reality: “I missed this, now I’ll fix it.”
Others stay stuck in victim mode:
1️⃣ Wait and hope: “I’ll just wait and see what happens.”
2️⃣ Make excuses: “I didn’t have enough time.”
3️⃣ Blame others: “It wasn’t my fault.”
4️⃣ Deny responsibility: “I didn’t even know.”
The good news? Anyone can climb the ladder.
Here’s how:
✅ Set the example: Lead and they’ll follow.
✅ Own your choices: Good or bad, they’re yours.
✅ Solve, don’t blame: Focus on fixing, not faulting.
✅ Discuss mistakes: Own them, make them lessons.
Remember:
Accountability is a choice.
Every step up builds trust.
Each rung conquered grows respect.
Keep climbing.
The view from the top is worth it.
