The Importance of Accountability As a soldier of the world’s most powerful military force, the U.S Army, it is imperative that I demonstrate competence, efficiency, and professionalism at all times. To achieve this goal accountability is an absolute necessity. As a soldier I must maintain constant accountability of my equipment and my team. Without constant visual and/or physical security of my equipment I would be making it too easy for the enemy to take my equipment and use it against me and my fellow soldiers. Without accountability of my fellow soldiers I put them as well as myself in danger. If I don’t know where my team is it is impossible to come to their aid if needed and vice versa. That being said it is a key part in being a …show more content…
Accountability affects your everyday life without you even realizing it. At this point in our lives it is no longer a job but a part of life and a sign of responsibility. Another sign of maturity is holding yourself accountable for your own actions. If you are one of those people who goes around making excuses for everything you do, people will begin to lose faith in you, and in turn you will not only lose your credibility but their trust as well. After a certain point excuses become less relevant or believable and you are seen and/or treated as if you were lying. No leader likes the “It wasn’t my fault”, “I was gonna”, or “see what had happened was” guy/gal and you shouldn’t want to be him/her. It is always better to hold yourself accountable for your own actions, you will gain a lot more respect that way. Once again accountability plays a major role in the quality of your everyday life and the lives of those around you as well. Good accountability or a lack of accountability can mean the difference in somebody getting paid the right amount or even at all. It could be the difference of receiving a tax refund or paying the state more than what you owe. It could be your children returning safely from a field trip or sending out an ABB or Amber Alert. It could even mean the life or death of a friend whether you’re deployed or just downtown having a drink. Nobody knows how a lack of
First and foremost, being accountable is a prerequisite to thrive in life. “Success is where preparation and responsibility meet,” anonymous; in addition, in order to succeed, a person must withstand the temptation of being fallacious and strive for success. For instance, in the book “The Mockingjay,” a young woman holds the fate of people’s lives in her hands; as a result, she must not rebel but continue as reliable in order to save the ones she loves and cares for. Furthermore, it is essential not to fall into the temptations of rebellion but rather to
In my opinion, I think Openness and Responsibility can help me be successful in ENG107 class. First, openness is very important. If I don't open my mind to learn new things, I can't even get new information from instructor. Second, Responsibility help me to get good grade. I need to turn in all assignment on time and reading book for a pop quiz.
Responsibility is the stem of a flower. Culpability is the platform for a successful and a fantastic life because people are able to experience growth when owning up to their actions. It is important to take responsibility for your actions because it can make you more reliable, make you mature, and improve someone's day.
Holding yourself accountable and having self-discipline has a lot to do with personal responsibility in my opinion. When you hold yourself accountable for your actions you are making a conscious effort to be a responsible person. Every action starts with a thought, whether it’s a good thought or a bad thought, it will determine the outcome of that action. For example, when you wake up in the morning and the first thought that comes to mind is that you will have a bad day, whether you know it or not you are subconsciously going to make it a bad day. If you stopped that thought when it happened and told yourself that today will be a good day you have already turned the outcome around. By holding yourself accountable you are in control, you are not aimlessly going through life reacting to what happens to you.
Accountability is important in an organization. Jerry recently became the supervisor for the Case analyst unit, and discovered that Frank had been doing a little over half of the work of the other employees. Jerry is facing a situation of an employee that was not held accountable and disgruntle co-workers because Frank is not pulling his share of the work. The moral and performance of the unit depends on Jerry’s response to act and face this difficult situation.
Teachers meet the needs of a diverse student population by differentiating their instruction. It is important to first develop the types of assessments a teacher will use in order to guide her instruction. Moon (2005) stated “allowing for multiple approaches to content, process, or product from an instructional standpoint also allows for multiple approaches from an assessment standpoint” (p. 232). In order for the assessments to inform instruction you have to view assessment in three ways: prior knowledge (before), tracking their learning (during), and measuring their performance (after) (Brimijoin, Marquissee & Tomlinson, 2003, p. 71).
Writing this assessment is harder for me than writing the first assessment. Time management is one thing that I seriously need to work on that cannot be seen or graded by Mr. Gillespie. I feel that the reason that my homework did not really show in this paper is because of the other things on my schedule last week. Although I did make sure that the reader had the information needed to decide on how they wanted to feel on the topic. For an informational paper, you must be able to correctly place in-text citations, have no grammatical issues, and ensure that the works cited are in proper order.
Being responsible is key to life. Everyone has a responsibility. Being responsible doesn’t mean I have more power or freedom. Responsibility means to be accountable, and I can be trusted. It means I have can manage how you act. This means I can own up to what I did. This day was my day to own up, and say what I did wrong.
Ensuring accountability in the workplace can be considered a basic foundation of an effective leader as well as a successful business. Connors, Smith & Hickman (2004) refer to accountability as a concept that includes leader and follower ownership, engagement, follow-through and execution to drive results. Leaders who consistently hold followers and themselves accountable for the choices that are made and tasks that are performed have been shown to be more productive and have higher levels of job satisfaction (Grimshaw et al,
Every four years when elections approach, we are held responsible for choosing someone that could be beneficial or harmful to our government and the people that surround it. Also, those officials who hold office are responsible and held accountable for the decisions they make, regarding bills and laws that are passed. Being held accountable for your actions is important because it strengthens a person to motive and persuade others to be better and do better.
Throughout the rehearsal process I have went above and beyond in my opinion to create the best show possible. I have successfully completed the basic and assumed tasks as a director/ choreographer to this point. Corinna and I with the guidance of Beatrice, Mr. Iachelli and Jamie split up ACT 1 into fair and equal sections to the best of our abilities. I have been proactive in choreographing and instructing my dances attempting to following a structured schedule ( to be discussed further in the Productivity Section). Beyond the expected tasks which I have completed to date, I have created plans, and models on my own time in order to benefit the production. I have proficiently demonstrated responsibility by asking
I really like the way you put a little twist on accountability as it relates to childhood accountability. Like you, I too was taught in my younger years that accountability is important. I can remember being told that when I’m accountable for something, I assume responsibility for it. Down through the years, accountability and responsibility have helped me tremendously in the workforce. I also agree with you that work ethic or the lack of it is linked to organization’s accountability. Without a doubt, maintaining a positive work ethic is a high priority in organizations. Likewise, to be competitive in today’s global environment, organizations must have employees who are willing to work hard, work smart, and when necessary work long (Dive,
Personally, when i think about accountability the words ownership, reliability and trust come to mind. Ownership is about taking initiative and doing the right thing for the business. Trust is confidence that your teammates are working towards the same objectives you are. Accountability is about follow through and getting done what you said you’d get done
