The difference in accountability

Uncategorized 1 Minute

A salesperson is accountable for his quota. While this means he needs to put in a certain amount of efforts in the right place, at times success and failure may be out of control.

An engineer is responsible for delivering something that works. While he needs to stay up on new technologies and troubleshoot issues, at times success and failure may be out of control.

Both are accountable for different parts of a project. Both have items that can slip out of control. Both should seek to minimize that part which is out of their control.

I believe in helping people in whatever way you can. In the power of creativity to transform a life, a business and the world. That if everyone was more generous the world would thrive. I've been an engineer. A consultant. An entrepreneur. And a salesperson. I also enjoy art. Today, I write. Stemming from my diverse experiences, I have a broad perspective and share it with others on topics from doing work you love to running a small business.
