Personal Accountability for Improved Business Performance
- Written by Mahanakorn Partners Group
Personal accountability within an organization improves corporate culture and boosts performance. Accountability at employee-level means taking ownership over individual performance - for mistakes as well as for achievements. At optimum, this involves an intrinsic sense of personal responsibility for compliance with legal or industry obligations, ethical conduct and performance of tasks without the need for consistent external pressures or sanctions. Conversely, a lack of accountability stifles the professional growth of the employee in question, negatively impacts other members of the team (for example, where disproportionate workloads are imposed on good performers), and erodes morale. Significantly, the company bears the burden of a lack of personal accountability in terms of reduced overall performance, lowered work standards, and ultimately, a decline in the quality or timeliness of products or services. Taken a step further, a company that does not prioritize personal accountability faces increased risks of reputational and legal liabilities.
