Accountability and Responsibility
Accountability and responsibility sound like the same thing. They definitely represent the same concept – ownership.
- “This thing is mine.”
- “I got this.”
- “I want this to be successful so hard that I will make sure it succeeds.”
In fact, the concepts of accountability and responsibility are very close. There’s one main difference, though:
Accountability is ownership by an individual. Responsibility is ownership shared by a group.
