Loved this piece, Tom. Your stories were all so memorable and compelling. I particularly loved the community garden for children and the notion of shared accountability.
"That’s the heart of accountability: do what it takes to get the outcome — together."
Such an important and critical concept that doesn't just build strong, successful companies, but it builds strong, healthy societies. People need to see our shared goals as a shared responsibility. Without that level of collective commitment, we will always be at risk of fractured efforts and stagnation.
When everyone sees the vision as their vision, they are more courageous, more creative, and more committed. And that is the only way to find solutions and create lasting positive change.
Thank you so much, Kathy. You captured it perfectly — when people see the vision as their vision, it sparks real trust, courage, and change. I’m glad the community garden story resonated. Thanks again for reading and for adding such thoughtful insight!
