Accountability
“Responsibility may be bestowed, but accountability
must be taken. In other words, responsibility can be
given or received, even assumed, but that doesn’t
automatically guarantee that personal accountability will
be taken. It’s possible to bear responsibility for
something or someone and still lack accountability.”
