David Graeber
The man who focuses on efforts and who stresses his downward authority is a subordinate no matter how exalted his title and rank. But __the man who focuses on contribution and who takes responsibility for results, no matter how junior, is in the most literal sense of the phrase, “top management.”__ He holds himself accountable for the performance of the whole.
The Effective Executive
Peter F. Drucker
As each situation in life represents a challenge to man and presents a problem for him to solve, the question of the meaning of life may actually be reversed. Ultimately, man should not ask what the meaning of his life is, but rather he must recognize that it is he who is asked. In a word, each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible. Thus, logotherapy sees in responsibleness the very essence of human existence.
