Word for the Day


ACCOUNTABILITY

the quality or state of being accountable; especially; an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions.





One of my pet peeves. public officials and CEO's who lack accountability.

Accountability can be very tough and easy to avoid when those in positions of trust and leadership skirt the rules.

It can also be hard, sometimes, when parenting because it requires so much consistency when we'd rather be doing something else. I don't know how people parent and help their children understand accountability without the help of the Lord.
