A responsible person is one who takes a responsible approach, who in a difficult situation does everything that is expected of him, without transferring his difficulties to others.
A responsible person is responsible for the choice of his actions, and for his inaction, for taking the initiative and bringing the matter to the end, for the result and for the consequences. And so on — see Responsibilities
This is a person with a developed sense of responsibility, capable of carrying a heavy burden of responsibility. The consequence of this is an independent, executive, reliable person.
Responsible — are not born, responsible — become. See Education and Development of Responsibility
A person who is described as responsible is usually also seen as tough, honest, careful, diligent, etc. Such inferences are thought to be derived from intuitive or implicit theories of personality.
Who is responsible as a responsible person
Real responsibility is always personal: it is always known who is personally responsible. The legal side is fixed by the concept of a responsible person — the one who directly has the authority (the right to dispose) and who is obliged to personally answer if something happens. About the personal qualities of the one who will have to answer, the question is: “How responsible is this person? How reliable is this person? Can you rely on him?»
As a rule, real responsibility is personal responsibility — the responsibility of one person, which cannot be divided or shifted.
In addition to personal responsibility, responsibility can be authorial — the responsibility of one or those who called themselves the author (source) of what happened, and group — the responsibility of a group that cannot be shifted to one person.
Leadership Responsibility Standard
Responsibility is the willingness to take the initiative and everything needs to be done. Or pay those who will do it for me. I am ready to pay for everything that is important to me.
Everything I did, I did. All difficult circumstances and people around me are just a background for my decisions, I am responsible for any of my actions.
Everything I didn’t do, I did too. My inaction is also my Deed.
Nobody needs my excuses. The leader does not make excuses, the leader corrects and leads forward.
My experiences and difficulties are of no interest to anyone: my responsibility is to make decisions and give orders.
Any statement of the leader is targeted and appropriate. And this is my style!
