Example Of Accountability

A current real world example of the accountability concept and be seen within the infrastructure of the Employment Development Department: The department director and executive offices are all in Sacramento, California however the offices which has the job at carrying out the department’s mission are spread throughout Northern and Southern California. Branch Administrators interact with the hierarchy to obtain changes, policies, procedures of which each office must carry out in order to meet the needs of clients. Then there is a Manager III who receives orders from the branch administrator and they are responsible for informing line manager of which rules and regulations implement among line staff. Offices also have manager II who run reports

To be totally transparent, there is no method for front line mangers to ensure their subordinates are completing tasks efficiently and effectively a hundred percent of the time, and to make matters worse management on every level is more than well aware of this
A good way to achieve buy-in is to effectively communicate from a standpoint that provides understanding that each individual is an important, necessary factor in accomplishing task, and that all players, rather they are management, front line staff, contractors, stakeholders, the general public, and even journalist have to come together for the greater need.
