The Theory of AccountabilityTM recasts the well-known formula of E=mc2 as the Accountability Equation, which holds the secret to inspiring a radical transition in how individuals show up in their own lives to accomplish their purpose and serve others. This equation reveals that the Experience we create is the result of the Mindset we embrace and the exponential impact of our Commitment. By attending to the three critical factors that determine the level of accountability in one’s life, organization, and community, readers will discover how to design and step into a future that is firmly grounded in a clear sense of purpose and possibility.
The Theory of AccountabilityTM forces a reconsideration of how we view accountability. As Silverstein explains, “Accountability is not a way of doing. Accountability is a way of thinking about people through the lens of Experience, Mindset, and Commitment.” When individuals and leaders actively create the future they want to live, frame their mindset around abundance rather than fear, and take persistent, relentless action in support of the experience they are generating, their beliefs, and their relationships, they will experience personal and organizational transformation unlike any other! ...less

It’s time to show excuses the door. Whether at work or at home, people often make excuses out of over-commitment, lack of understanding, or poor time management. In a world where there are more resources available than ever before – it’s time to get to the bottom line. Ultimately, they make excuses by focusing on what they cannot control instead of focusing on what they can control.

Accountability is a way of thinking. It is how we think about ourselves and others. ...less
