what to say on the speaker's note on Lack of accountability in an organization's working culture can lead to undesirable and adverse performance outcomes. Without accountability, follower ethics will decline due to a lack of reinforcement and communication from leadership. Employees may feel undervalued or ignored without effective communication and feedback and the ability to hold individuals responsible for their actions, leading to decreased motivation and productivity (Han & Hong, 2021). It can also foster a culture of blame, where mistakes are not owned up to but passed onto others, creating a toxic work environment and leading to high turnover rates (Han & Hong, 2021). Furthermore, lack of accountability can lead to poor quality of work, as there are no consequences for subpar performance, which can negatively impact the organization's reputation and bottom line. Hence, accountability is crucial in maintaining a positive and productive work environment
