Some of my thoughts on #ownership and #accountability "Own the problem, even though you didn't cause it. You need to get over your ego for that." "My successes are yours and your failures are mine." "Most people do not rise the occasion in crisis, they sink to the level of their training and preparation." Of all the leadership-of-self competencies, I rank Accountability as the first amongst equals. If someone is accountable then they will strive for others: self-awareness (cognitive and emotional), learning, sense and decision making, and resilience.

Closing a chapter on a leadership journey is never easy. It’s tough to step back after pouring so much passion, energy, and heart into something and to let others take the baton. Leadership isn’t just about the time spent or the goals achieved; it’s about the relationships built, the challenges faced, and the growth experienced along the way. While it’s hard to say goodbye to Engage Dallas, I’m grateful for every lesson learned and every person who has been part of this journey. Though this chapter is ending, the impact will continue to shape my path forward. Here’s to new beginnings and carrying the experiences with me into the next adventure. #Leadership #Community #EngageDallas #DallasTx #Leadership #Growth #NewBeginnings

Every business publication, from the Harvard Business Review on down, defines the CEO as being accountable for the performance and results of their company by ensuring the business operates efficiently and meets its goals. The necessary traits of a good CEO include vision, critical thinking skills, decisiveness, experience, trustworthiness, passion, and inspiration. Those CEOs who excel in the role define, build, and protect their organization's culture. A formal definition of 'organizational culture' is the underlying beliefs, assumptions, values, and ways of interacting that contribute to an organization's unique social and psychological environment. Culture is always top-down, never bottom-up. Culture will encourage personal and professional growth, or it will kill it. Culture is an organization's 'secret sauce' or a poison pill. It's the CEO who, ultimately, defines and cultivates the company's culture. The bottom line is that a winning culture allows an organization to attract and retain the best and brightest people. Period. Ohio Living's culture is alive and thriving and demonstrated daily through our team members' compassion, community, and faith in our mission and one another. That is what best defines our CEO, Larry Gumina, and the legacy he is building at Ohio Living!
