You are spot on: These kinds of situations do highlight that need for individual responsibility. Our Hawaiian value for it is Kuleana and I have always liked that our KÅ«puna [elders] insist on defining it as "one's personal sense of responsibility" inferring that we have to have a self-awareness and sense of self kick in to claim it. With teams, I often think of that chain analogy, and that it can only be as strong as the weakest link. Aloha Jason, thank you for visiting, and commenting for me.

Unfortunately, we don't always recognize that need for individual responsibility and that too often leads to cumbersome, inefficient and wholly unnecessary policies designed to save members of our teams from themselves!
