Introduction: 

I am Sadika Kebbi, your host, coming to you live from Beirut, Lebanon. I am a business consultant, a trainer, coach, and speaker. I am also an NLP practitioner and a meta coach. I created my NGO, or my non-profit organization in 2016, under the name of Being Human, or Kon Ensan in Arabic, with the aim of achieving social cohesion, peace building and women and youth empowerment.

As the CEO of my NGO or the decision maker,  I had to create balance between authority and responsibility. We are all used to making decisions, but sometimes we do that less skillfully than we might, especially when it comes to authority and responsibility. When should I be authoritative and when should I be responsible? Or when should I take responsibility of things, and when can I allocate responsibility?

Once I assessed the seriousness of my actions, it was helpful to weigh how much of my perceived wrongdoing is my personal responsibility. I learned to do a list of all the people and aspects of a situation that contributed to my decision in order to find clarity and define my responsibilities.

What you need to know.

To develop a team, you have to allow them to take on new challenges and risks. If you only focus on today’s result and pay no attention to the potential of tomorrow, you and your team will never grow. 
​
That is exactly when authority and responsibility hold hands. When people take personal responsibility and are held accountable for their actions, their colleagues are much more inclined to work with them and more motivated to cooperate in general. Individual accountability is a critical element of every collaborative effort. Everyone has to have his or her part for a group to function effectively.
