Joe was made responsible for getting proposal out to client. Joe blindly delegated it and instructed his team to send it to client once done. When proposal went to client, mistakes were found! When asked, Joe mentioned that he did not review the final outcome. Does accountability just mean delegating?

Note: A mini saga is a story in exactly 50 words (not 49, and not 51!). This mini-saga is derived from a real-life experience.

You can also read the other mini-saga “Knowledge and Action” that I wrote way back in 2006.
