“Accountable”

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Proverbs 27:17

 

We are all leaders. Whether at work, home, church, or community; we all have a position of leadership. Think about where you are a leader. As a leader you enjoy the responsibility of helping others develop in a way that encourages them to hold themselves accountable for their actions and attitudes. Maybe you’re a parent; you discipline your child and hold him accountable when he misbehaves. Or maybe you are the team leader at work; it’s your responsibility to hold co-workers accountable if they don’t follow through on a project.

Leadership is embracing the fact that the need for support never ends and uncomfortable conversations are a necessity at times. God holds us accountable. He expects us to have the hard conversations with Him, as well.

Application

Are you using your resources to hold yourself and others accountable?

Prayer

God help me to be disciplined in my efforts as a leader, seek you as a resource, and not be afraid to have the hard conversations
