18. KEY POINTS
When you’re personally accountable, you take ownership of
what happens as a result of your choices and actions. You
don’t blame others or make excuses, and you do what you
can to make amends when things go wrong.
To become more accountable, make sure that you're clear
about your roles and responsibilities. Be honest with
yourself and others, so you can admit when you’re wrong,
apologize, and move on.
Make the most of your time, and manage it carefully so that
you don't take on too much.
Last, think carefully about situations where you didn’t take
responsibility but should have. These mistakes and failures
can be valuable teaching tools, if you have the courage to
learn from them.
