The document discusses the accountability of leaders. It provides two equations that state that charisma without character leads to catastrophe, and having gifts from the spirit without producing spiritual fruits is empty. It defines accountability as being open to correction, not insisting on one's own way, not blaming others, accepting responsibility, and not yielding to pride. Leaders are accountable for the words they speak, how they use their time, finances, gifts/talents, and nurturing others. Leaders have no place to hide as what they do may be personal but is never private. Leaders are reminded to lead by example and not let their ego get in the way. The document closes by asking the reader what God has asked them to make, refer
