At some point we will be held accountable to the success of our investments in people, time, and stuff. Who will hold us accountable?

1. Ourselves - have you ever wished you had behaved differently?
2. Others - have others ever complained that you should have done better?
3. Last but not least depending on your perspective, God.  (Please note:  I respect your spiritual beliefs, whatever they may be.  I do not believe in an angry, judgmental God, but it is logical that someday a higher being will judge our stewardship of what we have been given.)

You can hold yourself accountable by setting clear, measurable Goals That Work each year and reviewing your progress BRIEFLY each week and day.  "Eat your elephant one bite at a time," which reminds me... 

It is Monday.  ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!  

1. Did you take Sanctuary time over the weekend to improve your focus?
2. How did you do on your 3Strands last week?
3. Have you defined your 3Strands for this week?
4. By 9:00 a.m. this morning you should have 3Strands emails from each of your direct reports.

Stay on track.
