Additional Information on Accountability

Watch the Video below and ask yourself a simple question.

Why do I do what I do? Is it for the recognition or because you just like to do a good job all on your own?

For Jack, accountability is transactional.

If you play by the company’s rules, you get a reward. If you don’t, you don’t.

For him, accountability is more external – based on the reactions of the people he works with and for.

Christine’s approach is different. She adopts work goals as personal goals.

It’s not that she doesn’t need or want praise for a job well done.

For her, accountability is more internal – a matter of her meeting her personal standards.
