Accountability ladder

Here is an interesting tool you can apply to some of life's problems:

 The accountability ladder gives individuals and organizations a way to look objectively at an issue that they are dealing with  and to make some deliberate choices about how they want to handle it.

The further up the ladder you feel you are, the more choices become available.

The greater the percentage of people who describe themselves as in the top portion of the ladder, the greater the chance an organization has of collaborating and successfully attaining its goals.

Think of two situations in relation to the accountability ladder - one where you, a group you were part of or an organization climbed up the ladder - and one where you stayed near the bottom.

What do you think of the ladder - is it a useful tool or does it oversimplify things? Justify your opinion!
