This month’s newsletter marks the end of our series exploring Above and Below the Line behaviour. We started with accountability,and followed with its opposite, victim mentality.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Accountability allows you to own a situation and solve it to the best of your abilities. Victim mentality is a mindset, and research shows that mindsets can be changed. The power and ability to rise above your circumstances and achieve what you desire resides within you.
WHY CHOOSE ACCOUNTABILITY OVER VICTIM MENTALITY
- Increases productivity
- Keeps you engaged
- Validates your thoughts and ideas
- Builds trust with others
- Increases job and relationship satisfaction
- Decreases stress.
When you combine the notion of accountability with the objective of accomplishing better results, you create an empowering and guiding beacon for activity. This form of accountability comes after you have progressed through all four steps of Above the Line behaviour – See It, Own It, Solve It and Do It.
Behaving Above the Line requires diligence, vigilance and perseverance. It also requires a willingness to accept risk and to take the giant leap that’s often necessary to get what you want.
In summary, personal accountability means that you choose to See It, decide to Own It, personally work to Solve It and then commit to Do It.

TO PONDER
We shared two quotes during the year:“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change”, and “You don’t get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results.”
- How are you going to change the way you look at things?
- What actions are you going to focus on to produce results?
