In Chapter 17 of 23 in his 2013 Capture Your Flag interview, author and public speaker Simon Sinek answers "What Role Have Accountability Partners Played in Helping You to Meet Deadlines and Goals?" Sinek shares that as social animals we feel greater responsibility toward each other than to ourselves. As a result, Sinek notes when someone besides us is invested in the outcome, we do our best not to disappoint. He shares how this concept of accountability partners functions in the context of having a workout buddy as well as in the context of the writer-publisher relationship. Simon Sinek teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. Sinek is the author of two books, "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Come Together and Others Don't" and "Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action". He is a public speaker, an adjunct professor at Columbia University and a Brandeis University graduate.

Hello
Mehmetcan - 26 - Interior Architecture / Architecture Student
country : Turkey
i am unable to get rid of my addictions and put my life to an order, can't really focus on a goal and set a path to get there. I want to set goals and achieve them on a given time, for that reason it would be nice for me to have a accountability partner for that reason.
If your field of work is related to design and time zone is similar to mine it would be great.

Taking accountability is not only a good character but also a desirable skill.
