Accountability

For years now it seams that people have not been held accountable for there actions. Look at what has happened to the Banking and Investment firms not to mention the Fund managers in the last two years. Bernard Madoff should be stoned in public for his scandal. Governments, businesses, and people in general just seem to pass the buck on everything. Small businesses today have a chance to change all that. If you educate yourself, and your employees, on what it means to be responsible for your actions, and then hold yourself accountable for them, you are ahead of the curve. I say educate yourself because we all tend to place blame once in a while, but it’s not necessary. People want to hire honest, reliable companies and people who can admit if a mistake was made, and then fix it. This is the time for small businesses to come to the rescue and bring honesty and accountability back to main street.
