Values Accountability

foundational

Organizations define values and encourage staff to embody them, but accountability is primarily focused on outputs and deliverables. Mutual respect and professionalism are baseline but values are not fully integrated into how the work gets done.

aspirational

Employees at all levels are held responsible for how they achieve results, not just what they accomplish. Performance reviews, feedback mechanisms, and leadership expectations are aligned with organizational values and processes are in place when behaviors fall short.
