Personal [responsibility](/adizes/wiki/responsibility.md) for measurable elements of input, throughput, or output that the individual feels emotionally and intellectually committed to.

Accountability is a [responsibility ](/adizes/wiki/responsibility.md)that can be punished or rewarded because it is based on sufficient authorance and a clear reward system.
