Being Accountable. Asking "What's right?"

In yesterday's post, Accountability - The Way of Transformation I quoted this line from the book:

When you are being accountable, you focus on
what is working rather than what is wrong.

It immediately brought to mind an old friend and mentor and book, Breaking The Rules by Kurt Wright. Kurt's "Five Right Questions" are all about focusing on what's right and not what's wrong.

"What's right?" questions build energy. "What's wrong?" questions drain energy— literally.

Although Kurt didn't focus on Choice as Chris does, it's clear he was suggesting we choose to ask "What's right?" And we always can... in any situation. Another way Kurt expressed this was in pointing out that we are either...

Finding Fault or Finding Value

Kurt's first two "Right Questions" fall right in line with The Power To Transform.

1. What's right... What's working?

2. What makes that right... What makes that work so well?

I get a special pleasure (and power) when two teachers & teachings I admire fit together so seamlessly. 

When you are being accountable, you ask "What's right?"

Does it then follow that when you're asking "What's right?" you're being accountable?

Let me know what you think of that <smile>
