Accountability Ladder

Accountability Ladder by PMA USA Agency

Accountability Ladder, which highlights the progression from a victim mentality to taking full ownership and responsibility. Here's a breakdown:

1. Unconscious: You're unaware of the problem or the role you play in it.
2. Point Fingers: Blaming others or external circumstances for what's happening.
3. Excuses: Rationalizing or justifying why something isn’t your responsibility or fault.
4. Wait & Hope: Staying passive, expecting others or external factors to fix the situation.

5. Acknowledge Reality: Recognizing the truth of the situation without denial or blame.
6. Own It: Accepting full responsibility for your role and the outcomes.
7. Find Solutions: Proactively identifying ways to improve or fix the situation.
8. Make it Happen: Taking decisive and consistent action to create the desired results.
