 This week we're discussing C&O's signature behavior number three, hold others accountable for their actions. As leaders, we must remember the important distinction between responsibility and accountability. Responsibility is most commonly understood to apply to the accomplishment of discrete action or task. Both junior and senior team members can and are often responsible for any number of work-related items. Accountability, on the other hand, and in this context, applies after the fact and refers to a leader's duty to provide feedback and direct communication as to the level of success observed in the performance of the duties that someone is responsible for. What accountability is thought about in this way, we can see that holding others accountable for their actions involves a proactive leader who can provide meaningful and constructive feedback as well as follow-on guidance and commander's intent. And so once again, we can see the central theme of effective communications as the foundation for successful leadership. Lead well this week.
