Accountability Makes You Better

09 Jul, 2025

If you want to improve your life, you have to be accountable to somebody. This week, John Maxwell is sharing a lesson on the importance of accountability — because it's the key to improvement!

After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow sit down to have a conversation on accountability and what John has shared, as well as offer you practical ways to apply it to your personal life and leadership.

Key takeaways:

  • Accountability provides the bridge to get you from good intentions to actual accomplishments.

  • When accountability makes us better, everything else gets better.

  • People that are accountable have a real passion to develop and grow themselves.
