Poems about Life - It would be hard to conceive of a society where blame and righteous anger play no part. Without blame, moral codes, whatever their provenance, would be unenforceable and legal structures unsustainable. If we look at the origins of the term ‘blame’ it is rooted in ancient ecclesiastical moralizing and disapproval – blasphemare – ‘speaking evil of’. Blame is therefore a curious paradox: necessary and functional, but also deflective and destructive. Stephen Fineman, The Blame Business
Blame - In democratic institutions, accountability to the American public and its elected representatives is a vital and unique concern. It would be troubling, in other words, if policy were made by officials with little or no connection to the public. Steven J. Balla, Bureaucracy and Democracy
Trouble - What I look at nowadays are things like how, even if an organization is beautifully designed around accountability, what really makes it hum is a genuine commitment from the people who are being held accountable.

Art Horn, Throw Your Stuff Off the Plane
Commitment - There is a reason that “accountability” continues to top the critical needs list of most organizational leaders. These leaders are keenly aware that accountability is the essential ingredient that allows individuals, teams, and organizations to soar and leave the competition in their wake.
