Accountability

Accountability can best be defined as being answerable for the results of your actions. In a business context, this means that employees are responsible for their own performance and outcomes. It means taking ownership of your work and accepting responsibility if something goes wrong. Accountability encourages people to get involved in problem-solving and makes sure that everyone is held to a high standard. Put simply, it’s about choosing not just to do the right thing, but also to do things right.
