Are You Leading with Integrity — or Letting Drift Define You?


Hi Reader,

Most leaders say they value accountability.

Few actually enforce it.

The cracks always start small:

  • Double standards.
  • Unspoken expectations.
  • Avoided conversations.
  • Then, mediocrity sets in, rebranded as "the way we do things."

If you're not holding yourself and others to clear, enforced standards, you're not leading.

You're managing dysfunction and enabling drift.

Leadership drift doesn’t make headlines. It just quietly undermines your credibility.

A single missed expectation becomes a habit.

Trust erodes. Goals slip. Team morale plummets.

Soon, you’ve created a culture that accepts underperformance, and you’re part of it.


The Leadership Accountability Audit™

A 10-minute gut-check of your leadership integrity.

No personality quizzes.

No warm-and-fuzzy hypotheticals.

Just a sharp, strategic look at whether you're leading with standards or slipping into drift.

You’ll assess yourself across five Accountability Domains:

  • Intent – Are you modeling what you expect?
  • Structure & Clarity – Does everyone know what’s expected — and why?
  • Enforcement & Follow-Through – Do you walk your talk?
  • Communication & Feedback – Are you creating clarity or chaos?
  • Monitoring & Adaptation – Are you course-correcting or coasting?

Each section includes direct, no-fluff statements.

You rate them.

No essays.

No spin. Just the truth.

Your Results — Instantly

You'll land in one of four categories:

  • Accountable Leader – You’ve built the foundation. Stay sharp.
  • Practicing Accountability – You’re growing. Tighten the gaps.
  • Inconsistent Accountability – You’re talking the talk. Start enforcing.
  • At Risk for Leadership Drift – You're on the edge. One more excuse, and you're done.

No Tracking. No Spam. No Excuses.

Just you. Your standards. Your mirror.

If you can’t confront your accountability gaps, you have no business leading anyone else.


Want to Go Deeper?

If you're ready for clarity, consequence, and control, a focused 30-minute consultation is available after the audit.

Beyond Vengeance and Denial

From the desk of Karl Bimshas Hi Reader, If you prefer, you can listen here. Beyond Vengeance and Denial What frustrates people is others' lack of accountability. Getting away with something once is a lucky break, twice is an annoyance, thrice is an injustice, four or more times is an abomination. This is where it becomes dangerous because the thirst for vengeance grows. But vengeance does not heal a wrong. Only justice can do that. And justice, whether legal, political, poetic, or moral, is...

Refuse to Drift

Hi Reader, Refuse to Drift A dear friend shared a sunset photo from Skaket Beach a few weeks ago. It’s one of the rare spots on Cape Cod where you can watch the sun sink directly into the ocean, something West Coasters often take for granted. The image stays with me, not just because of its beauty, but because it reminded me of a rhythm I’ve been missing. I miss Augusts spent with my dad in South Orleans. There was always that peculiar mix of relaxed calm and anticipation as lazy afternoons...
