“The quality of a decision increases directly proportional to the degree to which the person is responsible.
If I tell you to do something, you’re accountable but not responsible. Following a process makes you accountable, not responsible. Using judgment to opt out of the process makes you responsible. Completing assigned homework makes you accountable. Seeking out additional resources to deepen your understanding makes you responsible. Remembering your partner’s birthday makes you accountable. Consistently finding ways to make them feel appreciated makes you responsible.
Focusing on accountability does little to improve the quality of decisions. Embracing responsibility does.”
