MAKING YOURSELF INDISPENSABLE

Every day, we are faced with decisions from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to bed. Decisions about our families, our business, our futures. We are accountable for making decisions, big and small, that cast the paths of our lives. So why do we spend so much time finger-pointing and blaming others?

Mark Samuel is a master of accountability. In his book, he teaches us how to go from victim to accountable and how to actually do what we say we are going to do. Taking ownership of the power of personal choice, regardless of the obstacles, means not only walking the talk but knowing what talk you are going to walk. Faced with fear of blame, fear of failure and fear of success, Samuel provides inspiration and strategy for impacting the world by achieving your goals. From identifying the common roadblocks to accountability to focusing on the factor of forgiveness in taking responsibility, Samuel shows readers how to effectively stop the cycle of victimhood and blaming and shows us how to engage in the "accountability loop," a process of pragmatic self-examination, recognition and owning and action. Using examples from the worlds of business, sports, parables and his own life story, Samuel's highly-praised accountability lessons are now available for anyone to learnfrom.
