How is saying "accountability rests with me as the CEO" different from saying that they're the one who made the decision? Is that really dressing it up? Or just saying the same thing with different words? It really seems like you have a different definition of "accountability" than other people.

I think it’s you how’s confused about the words involved here. For example you switch between the concepts “take responsibility” and “be accountable” as if they were the same thing. They’re not.

The dictionary definition of "accountable" is this: "required or expected to justify actions or decisions; responsible"
