Accountability

Overview

As organizations face increasing pressure to perform, the word “accountability” gets mentioned more and more. But as much as we would like to “hold others accountable,” the reality is that accountability is an internal process. The best we can do to is deliver on our own obligations and encourage others to do the same.
