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.

Monday 10-27-2025 Culture Leads, Systems Sustain Too many leaders hide behind systems. They think a new process, policy, or program will magically fix dysfunction. It won’t. Systems can enforce compliance, but culture determines whether the system endures or gets undermined. That’s true whether you’re managing a department or confronting systemic social issues. If your culture doesn’t support your system, you’re enforcing empty rules that no one believes in. When systems and culture are...

Monday 10-20-2025 10 Principles for Defiant Leadership A Roadmap for Integrity, Courage, and Conscience Over two decades ago, I created a wallet-sized notecard for my team called the “10 Pride Principles.” It served as a simple guide to help us stay grounded when things got loud — a quick reminder to remain human and proud of how we worked. Today, noise levels have increased. Authoritarian thinking has infiltrated organizations. Fear, or worse, sycophancy, has replaced courage in too many...
