Don't enable bad behavior by avoiding accountability

“Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you” (Hebrews 13:17)

Reality-Based Leadership author Cy Wakeman, highlights accountability not engagement, drives results. She tells a good story about enabling bad behavior happens when we give non-compliant people an asterisk by their name. They aren't compliant here but look what great things they've done in the past. Or they are compliant here, but they've been through so much, we can't expect them to behave like the rest. Allow people to avoid reality is not good for anyone.
