“Accountability breeds response-ability.”
— Stephen Covey

Simplified Meaning:
When people know they are responsible for their actions, they become better at handling situations. Imagine a student who knows they have to present their homework in class. Because the teacher will check the work, the student makes sure to finish it and do a good job. If they didn't have to show the homework, they might be lazy and not learn much. The same idea works for adults at work; if a boss checks their progress, workers usually try harder and do better. This sense of being answerable makes people more careful and prepared, improving their skills over time. By holding yourself accountable, you build your ability to manage tasks and face challenges effectively.
