Accountability in professionalism

Accountability brings out the best in you in the professional world. When we say professional, we mean who is outgoing, smart, intelligent, responsible, proactive thinker, and adaptive to changes. We are talking about an individual who is always answerable for his actions and performances. So, that’s what an accountable person would be termed as well. In the professional world, everyone is responsible for their duties. When we say an individual’s duties or responsibilities, we look at three categories – self, team, and organization. By self, we mean that he is accountable for his role in the organization as an employee. He is answerable for his performance and the results generated.

As a team, it means employees’ contribution to the organizational projects, their success, and their failures. He is now responsible for himself and his teammates as well. And by corporate, we mean that as the manager, he is responsible for the results that his employees or the team generates, his employee’s growth, development, and performances, along with his own. And ultimately, the organizational culture must be set as per the accounting standards. So whether you are working in the healthcare industry, sales, and marketing of FMCG, or in the hotel industry, one has to be professional and demonstrate responsible behavior. So, now let’s discuss how a professional is accountable in any industry.

As a professional, it is vital that you accept the feedback positively and understand that the feedback given to you is only for your improvement. Therefore, feedbacks allow you not to repeat the mistakes that you made. Feedback might not always be negative, but it can be praise for sharing your experience and knowledge with your peers to improve and grow in their roles.
