Here is a great book review of No More Excuses: The Five Accountabilities for Personal and Organizational Growth by Sam Silverstein, which discusses expanding your accountability zone. To do that it means “reaching the point in your life where you can say, ‘No More Excuses! I’m not going to make excuses, and I’m not going to buy excuses.’” Excuses only legitimize the past, ignore the present, and eliminate the future.
Silverstein’s book is built around The Five Accountabilities he has developed to help you—in a practical way—to move beyond the excuse; to make accountability a way of life for you personally and part of your organization’s culture. The five accountabilities are:
- Doing the Right Things
- Managing Your Space
- Managing the Process
- Establishing the Right Expectations
- Contributing to Your Relationships
