The range of emotions I’ve been through since learning I had Acute Myeloid Leukemia have often left me exhausted. Yet another range is the deep appreciation and sense of gratitude.

It’s difficult to describe the respect I have for Admiral Stockdale. The torture he faced at the hands of the Vietnamese was incredible. Yesterday I received some more brutal facts about how things might look moving forward.

To say the last several weeks here in the hospital have been challenging might be an understatement. I’m sure my wife, Michelle, and my family thought I was worse than I did. Despite a lack of energy at times I still found time to work my routine and enjoy my passion for working with my clients.

Should leaders hold their people accountable privately during one-on-one sessions or Group meetings? Although every case is a little different, generally Patrick Lencioni and Positioning Systems experience leads us to support that on cohesive teams, accountability is best handled with the entire team.

In Get Greater Accountability, Individual Meetings or Team Meetings? I failed to outline some of the more positive outcomes that come from group meetings and individual meetings. Let’s look also at private and public accountability and why the latter works so much better in group meetings.

Accountability. It’s a critical element in organizations that grow. Last Monday at about 2:15 AM one of the doctors took accountability for me, made a decision to send me to the ICU possibly saving my life, I didn’t want to go there, I liked being in the familiar. He looked at the larger picture. The trends he saw disturbed him. Continuing fever for two and half days. Hemoglobin being absorbed almost as fast as they could put it in me. Plus the disturbing rate my heart was pumping at, and the balance between the low and high number they give on blood pressure. (The bottom number is not good if it drops below 60.)

You’re clear on your One Thing. You feel there’s some traction in your leadership team, yet something seems amiss in your weekly meeting rhythm meetings. The meetings are sedate, absent excitement, conflict and drama that you feel might exemplify a team grinding together to get things done. Is this good or bad?

Freedom. It’s what almost everyone wants, whether it’s your staff, leadership team or you.
