And with pace, someone who can slow you down.

Systems, and I've got systems in place that are checks and balances for me.

And then you need a team of people that can be honest with you and tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

The higher you rise, the harder it is to hear the truth from people.

And you have to create a culture where people freely can speak into you.

And so where do you need accountability most?

Super important.

And I'll answer that question, where do you need it most?

Probably here.

Where you resist it the hardest is likely where you need it the most.

Wherever you resist accountability and say, I don't want anybody knowing that.

I don't want people to know where I am all the time.

I don't want people to know what I spend my money on.

You know, I don't want them to see what I look at online.

The place you resist it the hardest is likely the place that you need it the most.

And so I tell leaders all the time and I tell myself, you're only as strong as you are honest.

If you're not honest, the likelihood of your long-term success drops like a rock.

And so I know some places that I'm vulnerable.

And so I put systems in place to protect me.

I've told the people around me, I have friends that hold me accountable because as my friend and counselor, Dr. Chappelle says, no one becomes their best version of themselves by themselves.
