Sarah, this really resonated. I had a front-row seat to some of this during the years we worked together, and what stands out is how you built accountability as infrastructure…not just a value.

One thing your piece made me think about: accountability has to go both ways. We’re often good at holding ourselves accountable for the mistakes, the harm, the things that went wrong. But real accountability also means owning the good: he impact, the risks taken, the progress made. You can’t have one without the other.

When leaders are willing to stand in both, that’s when accountability becomes real. Looking forward to the next piece on Solardarity!
