如果你可以找到某位自己敬重的人士，讓他成為你的「督導人」，你就會做出更多成果。
當你必須定期向某人報告目前的進展，就會讓你更深刻體認自己的承諾，並且讓你更可能真正遵守及實踐承諾。
關鍵在於要找出適合自己的督導人，最好不要找朋友來擔任，因為他們很容易就會放你一馬，你需要的是類似導師或績效督導者的角色。要找到適合的對象，可以思考下面這些問題：
．我所敬重的同事有誰？
．誰不會怕督促我、要求我全神貫注？
．我最不想讓誰失望？
．誰非常了解我，能夠看出我有沒有拖拖拉拉？
．誰有時間可以幫助我？
要記住，商業人脈的目標是要促成理想結果，它並不是友誼圈。如果能由生意往來培養出友誼，那當然很好，但有時友誼會影響到績效。你應該努力在自己的人脈中創造出卓越、世界級的績效，而督導人有助於促成這種結果。

Week 17 Find someone to be accountable to
If you can find someone you respect and make them your accountability partner, you will get more done. Having to report to someone what's happening on a regular basis heightens your awareness of what you've promised to do and enhances the likelihood that you will actually follow through and do what you say.
The key here is to identify the right accountability partner. You don't really want a friend because they will let you slide too easily. What you need is more of a mentor or a performance partner. To identify the right kind of person to approach, consider these questions:
．Who do I respect as a business colleague?
．Who would not be afraid to push me and make me focus?
．Who would I hate to disappoint?
．Who knows me well enough to tell when I am procrastinating?
．Who has the time available to help me?
Keep in mind that the purpose and aim of a business network is to get good things done. These are not friendship circles. It's nice when friendships do arise on the basis of business transacted, but sometimes friendships can get in the way of performance. You want to be working to create excellence and world-class performance within your network. Accountability partners can help make that come about.
