He challenges readers to embrace certain tools that can place us in the right frame of mind to accept responsibility and accomplish all of our set goals both individually and as team members including: -Compassion: in taking accountability, also creating solutions that consider the welfare of all parties involved and for the entire organization in general. -Openness: let each member of the team, regardless of rank, have a chance to speak up and share their perspective in problem-solving -Sincerity: acknowledge the current reality with honesty yet without judgment. Call it what it is without criticizing at this stage From identifying the common roadblocks to accountability to focusing on the factor of forgiveness in taking responsibility, Samuel shows readers how to effectively stop the cycle of victimhood and blaming and shows us how to engage in the accountability loop, a process of pragmatic self-examination, recognition and owning, and action.
