But I can also see how it could be used as a tool. <br /><br />If dude A decided that holding himself accountable to dude B is a great way to keep himself from acting rashly, and it works, then hey, I say go for it. I noticed that it didn’t work for me.Daniel Birdicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-25978988864447089302009-07-28T11:01:10.809-07:002009-07-28T11:01:10.809-07:00Out of curiosity are you a introvert or extovert D...Out of curiosity are you a introvert or extovert Daniel? Accountability is a tool not a obligation. You are right when you say that you explain yourself for reasons of your own. Certainly you wouldn't do it for reasons of anyone else.pagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06016610230801213117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-44272552711917702022009-07-25T09:01:49.359-07:002009-07-25T09:01:49.359-07:00Anonymous said, “Being accountable makes you a mor...Anonymous said, “Being accountable makes you a more powerful leader and stops you from burning all your bridges.” <br /><br />You could be right, although accountability has never worked for me. I’ve tried using the concept in previous self help schemes, to no avail. I realized that I just didn’t give a damn one way or the other what other people thought of me. I’ve never felt sufficiently obligated to explain myself (to ‘give an account’) to anyone unless I wanted to, for reasons that were entirely my own.Daniel Birdicknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-1750089587081640392009-07-24T21:19:54.041-07:002009-07-24T21:19:54.041-07:00Its not a moral issue.

Keeping control and staying in power is different from short term manipulation. When you get past lying to yourself that you are in power and accept the leadership people give you the real work begins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-75072739454270300522009-07-24T07:30:31.566-07:002009-07-24T07:30:31.566-07:00Two comments:

That the youngsters followed me. I toldem that I don't tell people what to do, they do what they want. He said my refusal to accept leadership was really my refusal to accept responsibility.”</i><br /><br />I agree with ‘OMCW’ on this point. People are freer than most of them believe themselves to be. It’s their “ignorance” of this fact that makes them so easy to manipulate. I would no more accept responsibility for someone else’s actions than I would for making the sun rise this morning. Just because I can push certain buttons in a person’s psyche doesn’t mean I can literally control them. <br /><br />However, accepting responsibility for <b>my own</b> actions is indeed a horse of another color. Within the story you tell yourself about yourself, it’s more empowering to see yourself as “cause”, so to speak, rather than as an “effect”.Daniel Birdicknoreply@blogger.com
