Episode 474. How to Take Accountability with Rod Stryker

This week on Radically Loved, Rosie speaks with Rod Stryker about taking accountability for a mistake as someone in a position of authority. Owning up to mistakes is always a grueling process. It's even multiplied when there's a power differential in the dynamic and even more so when all of this is played out on social media. Trust is a critical element that binds people to authority figures. The gravity of crossing boundaries and breaching this trust is seen and felt on a larger scale. Rod walks us through the process of repair, self-reflection, taking accountability, and the lessons he learned from making a grave mistake as an authority.
