I set the foundation in the previous episode by providing 11 examples defining a Purposeful Accountable Leader (PAL). In this episode, we will finish explaining a PAL by arming you with the final 10 examples. I would love to hear how you would define a PAL?
Preview: PALs care personally about their family, team, and organization. A universal fact with leadership is relationships matter. You must understand that being a leader requires building strong relationships with others. To do that, you must be authentic and care for each individual you lead. Part of caring personally is showing emotion which is often seen as a weakness in leadership.

In this podcast, I outline seven ways leaders can lose at the 4th Phase Of Leadership (POL), Succeed Together. The 4th POL begins when the organization collects a series of wins. Those wins could be small tactical victories or even large strategic targets. However, the results are the same, and that is building momentum. Achieving success as a team takes three characteristics, valid throughout your leadership journey regardless of the phase. Those characteristics are Routine, Accountability, and Discipline (RAD).
