Accountability Reflection Paper

The Responsible Company is written by Yvon Chouinard who is founder and co-owner of Patagonia and Vincent Stanley who was a sometimes Patagonia employee. In their book, they raise the point that no companies could be found in this world, but they are doing the best job to protect their stockholders. This book is really helpful for those people who wants to become more successful in their business career life. It shows us what the company has studied and what strategies has used although the book is not really about the story of the Patagonia company.

I have been tasked with writing this 1000 word essay on the importance of accountability of sensitive items within the military. The reason I have been assigned to do this task is due to my failure of being attentive and securing my weapon and having it with me at all time. I failed by leaving my M9 Berretta at home in my safe before I left in support of the Boston Marathon. I was told by certain individuals to leave it at home, but I failed as an NCO to ask my section leader on how to properly secure my weapon. I did what I thought was best and left it to at home limit the amount of time I traveled with it. In doing so was wrong, if anything would have happened to that weapon there would have be severe consequences that not only myself

Should anyone be excused legally or morally for his or her behavior? In most cases I would say no, although there are a few instances in which I would also say yes. In my opinion, all individuals should be held accountable for their behavior. Although, the extent of that accountability should vary from person to person based on their mental capabilities and physical handicaps. In some cases, such as with juveniles, I believe their parents should be held accountable also.

The importance of accountability, are being on time and in the right uniform. The main reason we have formations and that we are trying to keep account of personnel to know where everybody is at, at all times. I have learned in the past years that I have been in that being on time is the most important thing that you need to do. For one the accountability of personnel is major, it plays a big role in the deployment and the readiness of soldiers. I would have to say that I was wrong for not showing up at my appointed place of duty I should have gotten up and made it to the swimming pool. But in all things that have been done I have seen that accountability is the most important asset here for

The American Nurses Association defines accountability as “to be answerable to oneself and others for one’s own actions.” Accountability is part of nursing and it is important for the nurses to recognize the importance of being accountable (Battie & Steelman, 2014).

Accountability is defined by department of defense as the obligation imposed by a law or lawful order or regulation on an officer or other person for keeping an accurate record of government property, documents or funds. The numerical end product of personnel accountability process reflects the combat power of a unit.

Having good order and discipline is important in any aspect of the United States Army, because it shows you hold the standards of the unit you are assigned to at great heights. Good order and discipline in my opinion is a responsibility of the individual soldier and it shows that the soldier takes responsibility upon himself without having to be told or shown. It shows that the soldier has the mindset that is most beneficial to the overall readiness and ability of the unit to accomplish its mission. Good order portrays that the soldier is taken care of and is willing to return that to the unit. Good discipline shows that the people appointed over the soldier took responsibility

Accountability is not something I have devoted much thought to or pondered about in detail. While reading Crucial Accountability, I started to recollect experiences in my past where accountability needed to be addressed. I realized that at times, I unconsciously held accountability conversations that were successful; and at other times, thoughtfully pursued accountability conversations that resulted in disaster. I was not aware until I started reading the text that a method exists for achieving success with accountability conversations. Also, I was unaware that my viewpoint and preconceptions could be the reason why some of my accountability conversations have gone wrong. I did not hold myself accountable to preparation before I held others accountable to their infractions!

Accountability is honestly one of the most important aspects to the healthcare industry. It is one of those factors that one would expect to be a necessary part of an organization not only because it is expected but because it is a necessary evil. Employees need to be accountable for their actions in one way or another. An organization cannot function properly without this feature. It has become a new fact of life and affects an organization like no other factor and has cost the healthcare industry billions of dollars and continues to grow on a day by day basis. According to Porter-O’Grady (2007), accountability is

No matter what you do in life whether it is being a teacher, cop, secretary, forensic scientist, or in my case, Marine, you will always find one thing in common. Within all of these jobs you will find that accountability is very important. You will also find that within keeping accountability you will not succeed. Accountability is knowing the amount of items or people in which you are responsible for. Accountability is also knowing where the items and people are at all times. While knowing where everything and everyone is, you also need to keep record of everything. All the aspects of accountability are important because without it things would be in chaos. The way I am going to explain the importance of accountability will be through my

The importance of accountability and communication in the Military is so each and every personal is all on the same page. Also so our organization runs smooth. Communication is the heart of what makes the United States Army what it is today. Without communication vital information would not be passed down from the Chief of Command to a chain of Non Commissioned Officers to the soldiers. Not to mention, innocent lives would be in jeopardy, missions would be misconstrued, and simple information from NCO to soldier would be conflicted. The smallest amount of information is always imperative. For example, if a soldier goes out over the weekend and doesn’t inform anyone of he or she

On June 23, 2016, you participated in a pre-determination meeting in the presence of your union representative, Dick Isett, regarding allegations you did not comply with my written expectations identified via a June 21, 2016 email. In addition, the allegation that you violated the Department’s Employee Conduct Policy and Procedure when you addressed your immediate supervisor in email exchanges and in person.

I worked as a greeter in volunteer department, directed patients to designated departments and buildings, and managed shuttle calls for patients and their family members. During the time, I would sometimes have the opportunity to chat with patients and family members about topics regarding McLean Hospital and the medical field of mental health.

Every fourth-year teacher trainees will have to conduct practicum and will work under the guideline of their associate teachers and supervisors. The purpose of doing the practicum are to put training into practice, to become accustomed to teaching in the tertiary school settings, and to develop and expand each trainee’s teaching expertise and confidence. In the following paragraph, I will express what I have learnt from doing practicum to reflect on my past teaching strengths and weaknesses from the teaching practicum.
