COACHING ACCOUNTABILITY

To understand what some words mean, all you have to do is look at the word itself. Inside the word is the story of its meaning. That’s the way it is with the words responsibility and accountability. All you have to do is pull the word apart and lo and behold— there’s the meaning laid out before you.

Responsibility: respond-ability, the ability to respond to a trigger or event, therefore the ability to respond mentally, emotionally, linguistically, and behaviorally. The ability to take action in response to a stimulus.
