Exploring the 'Accountability Ladder' offers us a powerful lens to view ourselves. This concept isn't just about self-evaluation; it's a call to actively climb towards higher accountability in our professional lives. Reflecting on where we stand on this ladder can be the first step towards unlocking our full potential. Let's aim to stand above the line.

During my New Hire Orientation at Greif roughly 2.5 years ago, I was first introduced to the Accountability Ladder. I love what it stands for and my TEAM and I often reference it to ensure that we as a Global OPEX TEAM are "staying above the line". At the beginning of this fiscal year, my mentor/coach sent us a note with an actual stop watch. The note stated the following: "Plan in years...Think in months...Work in hours...Act in minutes!" With that said, we are all human and will operate below the line at times. However, the difference between a Champion and a Victim is how quickly you recognize it and what actions you take to quickly get yourself back above the line. I have coached my TEAM to recognize when they are below the line and to hit their virtual stop watch and count in minutes how long it takes them to get back above the line. Think about it. Do you want to be a Champion or a Victim? Do you want to be surrounded by Champions or Victims? Honestly, the choice is ours... Thanks for listening and be SAFE/Healthy!
