2 Introduction Accountability is critical to human social, political, and economic existence. When dealing with situations that threaten peace and relationships between two individuals or among a group of people, a lack of responsibility skills can have negative consequences. Most social challenges in today's environment can only be handled with good accountability skills. After performing a self-assessment to measure my responsibility, I received 15 out of 35, falling between 6 and 15. A score in this range indicates that I am capable and likely to succeed(Patterson et al., 2013). This score accurately portrays the actual me since I have dealt with responsibility concerns well. The major goal of this essay is to reflect on the evaluation results and focus on the two categories where I scored the most Yes after reading the book Crucial Accountability. Reflection The two areas where I scored the most yes answers are stay-focused and flexible and also master my stories section. My stay-focused and flexible scores indicate that I occasionally go off course when speaking. The master, my stories portion, the score shows that I am very emotional, and being too emotional clouds my ability to hold myself or others accountable. Missing the point while speaking may also prejudice my propensity to keep myself accountable. The score reflection The score correctly represents my current areas of weakness in keeping myself and others accountable. Being too emotional impairs one's capacity to hold others and oneself accountable. Being emotional might cause one to be lenient on themself while being harsh on others, or it can cause one to be difficult on others while being lenient on yourself. Before opening one's lips, one

3 must first clear their mind. Being overly emotional during an accountability talk may lead to premature conclusions or skewed and improper assumptions. Losing track of time when taking is a shortcoming that may lead to failure to hold oneself accountable. Willingness to be accountable To effectively hold myself or others accountable, I must stay attentive and avoid distractions(Patterson et al., 2013). When a new problem occurs during an accountability debate, one must decide whether to handle the new emergent problem now, later, or disregard it. I've dealt with several accountability concerns, most of which have gone well. My upbringing has primarily influenced my capacity to deal with accountability. I was raised in an environment where discipline, respect, and peace were the primary ideals. My parents, family, and community members have taught me how to handle problems, interact with people of other cultural origins and beliefs, and avoid situations that may land me in trouble or damage others. Importance of Accountability Accountability is the process of assessing a person or organization based on their actions or performance concerning something for which they are accountable. Accountability in leadership is a critical skill for obtaining successful outcomes and guarantees that the organization takes the lead in establishing a culture of accountability that makes everyone's job to develop realistic objectives that can be reached via teamwork(Ghanem & Castelli, 2019). It also allows executives to promote positive business results and discourage bad ones by rewarding excellence that meets or exceeds expectations and correcting performance that falls short of expectations. Accountability to oneself is critical in ensuring that one operates ethically

4 and responsibly. Evidence suggests that most people are accountable to others but not themselves, especially when there is no one to hold them accountable(Dhiman et al., 2018). Accountability to oneself is an essential component of personal ethics. Accountability in organizations aids in the establishment of performance indicators. A culture of responsibility in a company teaches individuals that they must be accountable for their goals. High-performance teams rely on an accountability culture to define performance goals and indicators. Accountability is essential for keeping people motivated, confident, and productive. Holding others accountable ensures they function with integrity to achieve what is expected of them(Drach-Zahavy & Leonenko, 2019) Recommendations While my evaluation findings for dealing with accountability difficulties aren't ideal, I'm excited to work on improving my accountability abilities. Setting SMART goals and collaboration are two ways I may strengthen my accountability. Setting SMART objectives is one of the most effective ways I will increase my accountability. This enables me to define particular goals that are practical and achievable within a reasonable time frame, which I should aim towards. The goals must be measurable so that I can analyze how much has been accomplished and what has not been accomplished at the end of a task. Collaboration with appropriate parties to handle accountability issues will also increase my accountability because it requires developing strong relationships with individuals to solve problems. Conclusion Improving responsibility is essential for sustaining positive relationships with others. While most people have difficulty with accountability, there is a need to understand how to

5 resolve accountability concerns correctly. As a result, I would recommend reading Crucial Accountability by(Patterson et al., 2013).
