4 Effective Ways To Increase Accountability And Reduce Finger Pointing In A Team
Managing a team has many challenges, two of which are the issues of accountability and finger-pointing. Accountability itself is often confused with responsibility. Here is a simple difference between the two terms. A person who is responsible is the one who completes a task, while a person who is accountable is the one who must answer to the authority.

In a project, the ultimate authority is the sponsor. Depending on the task, the authority to whom an accountable person must answer to varies.
