I wanted to write something, but I think this person explains it better.

We have the power to do great things.....if we hold ourselves, and each other accountable for what we do or don't do.
We need to support each other, but we also need to be honest with ourselves and our teammates. If we aren't honest, accountability is impossible. We can't change what we don't acknowledge (I think Dr. Phil said that)...but often we don't want to acknowledge our mistakes or weaknesses. It makes us feel bad and it's easier to make excuses than confront that mistake or weakness.

If we aren't doing what we said we'd do, we need someone to tell us and be unhappy about it. That's motivation to get it done. I know all of us set goals this year that are important to us....I want all of us to succeed. Calling people out when they don't fulfill their commitment isn't a mean thing, it's a helpful thing. It's a tool to help push you to fulfill your goals.

If you aren't doing something you said you'd do (for instance me and my rollerblading...hasn't happened yet), you probably fell guilty about it and your first instinct when someone points out that your not doing it is to lash out, place blame and make excuses. But the truth is I haven't rollerbladed and if one of you cornered me in a back room and said, "Hey, you said you were going to rollerblade 1000km this year and you haven't started yet?!? What gives?!?" I would be embarrassed, ashamed and I would feel bad about letting you down. I wouldn't want to feel that way again so I'd get off my butt and start rollerblading so next time you asked me I could look you in the eye and say, "I've rollerbladed 10km just today." and I would feel great after.
That's what we need to do for each other. We don't need pats on the back for just existing, that's not what this is about. We need to push each other and expect more from each other so when we do pat each other on the back it actually means something.
