The differences between responsibility and accountability.

First is responsibility from the word

responsibility in workplace the duty to respond to and complete tasks. Which means that it can
be shared among a team. Especially, multiple people can be responsible for achieving a specific
outcome by working on the same task, or have different tasks they are responsible for that lead
to the same goal. And the second is, accountability for a specific task, process, service that
should be assigned to just one person. If more than one person is accountable for the result of a
task, there is a much higher risk that each person will think the others are taking charge, leading
to no one taking accountability. Tasks should be assigned based on an individual’s skills and
competencies. 

We can feel responsible for doing household chores without having accountability. If someone
who lives alone has the responsibility to do their laundry, but fail to do so, they have no one to
answer to but themselves. They will be responsible, but they won’t face any consequences from
an authority

When comparing responsibility vs accountability in the workplace. It’s important to know the

differences in order to ensure that the right people and also the number of people are assigned
to specific tasks, and also to know who is responsible for what, and who will be held
accountable for certain outcomes. You can take responsibility, and you can hold someone.
