What if you could transform your relationship with yourself, your family and friends, your colleagues and clients, and your larger community through the power of commitment? What if ten simple choices enabled you to enhance your leadership skills, improve your organisational culture, and make a local, national, or even global impact?

In I Am Accountable, renowned speaker and consultant Sam Silverstein explains how accountability is the secret to filling your life with more meaning, more success, and more joyβ€”and it all starts with your mindset. To create a truly meaningful life, we must first accept that the problem is never other people. β€œThe real problem,” Sam Silverstein maintains, β€œis what we believe about other people.”

Silverstein’s new book shows why everything we have been taught about accountability is wrong. Contrary to popular belief, accountability is not a way of doing. Accountability is a way of thinking. It is how we think about ourselves and others. And it is the highest form of leadership.

The secret to creating accountable relationships, and elevating the personal benchmark that Silverstein calls The Accountability Indexβ„’, lies in making ten critical choices that support an accountable mindset. I Am Accountable offers a comprehensive plan to help you establish and leverage that mindset, deepen commitments, create lasting meaning in your life and relationships, transform the culture within your organisation, and foster lasting positive change in the world.
