Talk about playing out on the big stage. If there was a lesson to be learned about honorable accountability, we saw it recently with Facebook --- 3 major social platform outages (Facebook, Instagram, and What's App) along with a very telling 60 Minutes whistleblower interview.
As I considered the accusations, the responsibility, and the pressures of leading a company of this magnitude, it reminded me of why I appreciate being small (although we're growing and evolving each day). I was also reminded that regardless of the size of the organizations we lead, we must hold ourselves accountable, honorably, to those that we serve and who count on us to show up, as our best.
This means we have to be true to the work, to the people, and to ourselves each day. At HTI, that comes in the form of our Core Values, which we are reminded to practice and hold close.
Some of Our Core Values Include:
- Collective Work & Responsibility
- Trust
- Human Relationships
- Service to Others
- Creativity/Innovation
With all that said, we are still very much a work in progress! And I understand that it all starts with me as the leader. Thus, I consistently reflect, get feedback, and reevaluate how we're doing.
Are you showing honorable accountability? Below are a few tips on how to maintain.
