Why Accountability Is The New Black and Crucial For Sustainable Success.

Monday Mojo’s are usually about topics that are right on point with a group I’m working with, client discussions or even my own life as we navigate through challenges blending personalities, purpose and profit into the mix. There are many opinions and often old sets of belief systems that will not apply in today’s modern, open and well connected landscape.

What’s going to be different about your approach in life and work this year?

Making this year remarkable and a little more seamless means taking out unnecessary bumps and self imposed road blocks. So this weeks Mojo is in trendy terms all about “Throwing less shade”.

Which is adult terms means STOP BLAMING OTHERS.

The No Blame Policy

In the companies I work with on culture and my private clients, we have a strict NO BLAME policy. There’s lots of cool fancy diagrams about this but in simple terms it means be direct, go direct and stop talking about others indirectly unless you are legitimately getting some experienced advice on what to do in a tricky situation.

If you’re busy pointing the finger at someone or something else, chances are you’re not taking care of your side of the street.  This is applicable to anyone.

No matter what your title, age or role in life we can always evolve. It’s the cool part.

It’s also called neuroplasticity** – so when people tell me “this is just the way I am” I ask them – is that how you want to remain?

* Neuroplasticity: The brain’s ability to reorganise itself by forming new neural connections throughout life. Neuroplasticity allows the neurons (nerve cells) in the brain to compensate for injury and disease and to adjust their activities in response to new situations or to changes in their environment. (The Dictionary)

I’d also like to add : it allows for the brain to compensate for outdated belief systems and create new improved outlooks and approaches to situations in life (*The Niktionary)

Same Actions = Same Results

If you keep doing the same things you’ll get the same results. Keep going and keep growing folks!

So here’s this weeks leadership challenge.

BLAME LESS. No more blame, no more shaming. Unless you’re truly a victim in life (reading this I think not) then you’re probably the sort of person who likes to get up, dust off, learn and move forward without staying on the blame train.

Blame – who me?

We’ve all done it – the defining factor is when you realise that it’s not the way to roll and you evolve into being one of those awesome human begins who says “darn it – I almost fell for that old trick” and redirect the focus back to yourself and what you can do differently.

* No one can make you unhappy, unsuccessful or unproductive. Take care of your side of the street.  * Commit to learning, growing and ditching the old habits that no longer serve you. Here’s how to start:
