Responsibility


Ability is indicative of whether you could do something.
Assessing ability is relatively straightforward.
Even within complex, nuanced circumstances, ability could be assessed.


Responsibility is more indicative of whether you should do something.
Assessing responsibility involves an evaluation of beliefs, values, and systemic contribution.
This process is ideologically subjective and contextual.


In action-oriented environments, could often supersedes should.
Thoughtful leaders consider responsibility before ability.
