Editor's Notes
- Responsibility: can be shared vs accountability cannot Dependable: easily able to be depended on; or reliable Ownership: cannot be demanded because it is intrinsic
- This is just one diagram of the levels of accountability, however the breakdown is pretty simple.
- Business: Supervisor docking pay for missed work Healthcare: Nurses being held accountable for how much drugs they administer, or vitals they record. Education: deduction of grades due to performance or quality of work. Any other examples?
- Community: cultural norms, values and beliefs from family, religious or ethnic backgrounds. Friends: peer pressure, accountability partners. Any other examples?
- This may seem intrinsic, however the expectations/rules are still being set by external influencers. You take on the challenge based on your goals and values because they can be influenced by those external factors if you do not.
- Part Uno Use the Post-it to draw one step within the process of how to make toast. (3 minutes) Without talking, and as a group, place the post-its in order on the wall. What do you see? Are their duplicates? Are their gaps? Where are the gaps? Part Dos Take on post-it off the wall that is not your own, then stand by your chair. In two groups, put in order the post-its in order again, but use the 3 additional post-its to fill in the gaps within the process. (You may talk) Then post them on the wall, separate from the other groups process.
- 1. Accountability implies irresponsibility, which not always the case. 2. Holding people accountable can be exhausting for both the external and internal influencers 3. Accountability focuses on rules, not on values. 4. Accountability is always after the fact and often demotivating (reactive v. proactive)
- What are some ways you can shift your culture of accountability towards a culture of ownership? Trying to find meaning in everything you do. Have an internal purpose. How can taking ownership help with your academic performance? Understand that you earn grades. You are not given grades. Be proactive, not reactive. Be creative, or engage in things that build autonomy. Engage in things that lessen the stresses so you are enjoying each experience (from a test to lecture to even the commute to campus)
