Oops, I made a mistake! Now what?
According to Google, the use of the word ‘accountability’ has increased overtime and is now used more than the word ‘responsibility’. With responsibility, you can carry out certain tasks as a part of the duties assigned to you and expected from you. But with accountability, you become liable to be questioned about the performance of these responsibilities. It is natural then to think of accountability as a gauge check of responsibility – whether you are performing your duties or not.
