Being responsible- Be accountable stop playing the blame game

One way of measuring responsibility is accountability, but sometimes it seems like ducking responsibility has become epidemic. It is easy to pass the buck on someone these days and blame them for something we opt to be responsible for. In politics, sport, media, and our little communities everyone is playing the blame game

Accountability is a traditional idea that says you are responsible for your actions—and inactions. For the sake driving a clear point at you I am going to ask you a couple of tough questions today, are you are ready. If a questions comes up or something goes wrong, are you will to raise your hand and admit the part you played? are you open to scrutiny?

Unaccountable people are into excuses, blaming others, putting things off, doing the minimum, acting confused and playing helpless. They pretend ignorance while hiding behind doors, computers, paperwork, jargon and other people They say things like "I didn't know, "I wasn't there," "I don't have time," "It's not my job," That's just the way I am," "Nobody told me," "It isn't really hurting anyone," and "I'm just following orders." Unaccountable people are quick to complain and slow to act. In organizations, lack of accountability is a highly contagious disease.- Dianne Schilling (womens media)

If feel like I still have a lot to say about this topic so if you want to become more accountable you better be prepared for what’s on the menu tomorrow.
