I have explicitly given my team permission to hold me accountable.

I visibly meet or exceed every standard I enforce on others.

When someone below me calls me out, I respond with openness, not defensiveness.

I follow the rules I expect others to follow, conspicuously.

I hold my peers accountable, not just my subordinates.

I accept upward accountability even when the delivery is imperfect.

I show up on time, meet deadlines, and honor commitments that I demand of others.

I address peer-level performance issues directly rather than reporting them upward.

I model receiving accountability as gracefully as I deliver it.

People at every level would say I am held to the same or a higher bar.
