Accountability

Description

Participants brainstorm and gather a collection of factors that may inhibit or determine one be accountable for his or her actions, outcomes, etc. This activity makes this otherwise quite an abstract concept, more easily to grasp. This set of factors the participants discover widen their perspective on the matter and helps them calibrate their perception.

Work

Debrief (suggested)
