Accountability is not about never making mistakes.

It means:

  • understanding what you are responsible for
  • showing up as expected
  • doing what you said you would do
  • communicating when something changes
  • completing work properly
  • reporting problems early
  • taking responsibility for your own mistakes
  • handing work over properly
  • following through
  • using initiative without exceeding your authority

By the end of this module, you should be able to:

  • explain the difference between responsibility and accountability
  • understand why punctuality and attendance affect other people
  • communicate early when lateness or absence is unavoidable
  • make realistic commitments and meet deadlines
  • complete work instead of merely starting it
  • report problems before they become crises
  • own mistakes without hiding or automatically blaming others
  • perform useful handovers
  • follow through on promises and unresolved tasks
  • take appropriate initiative while respecting authority limits
  • understand how clear workplace systems support accountability
