Re: Holding Yourself Accountable

To be honest the more you put in the more value its likely to be to you.

Without knowing what you are trying to achieve no one can really judge whether you achieved it or not. Sparrows blotter snipette is a good example. Did he do what he should? Did he behave responsibly? Was he accountable? How can we possibly know?

For there to be any value to anyone (poster or accountant) there needs to be a set of criteria that the 'results' can be judged against otherwise it's pointless putting it on view.

To be accountable to yourself you need to describe precisely what you should be doing. To be accountable to 'us' you need to describe to us precisely what you should be doing. There is no other way, anything less and you are simply paying lip service to being accountable rather than actually being accountable.

Forgive the harsh tone, it is directed inward (towards myself) as much as anything
