Professional Accountability

Reflecting on Accountability

What is the impact? 

Consider the story of Maple Leaf's listeria contamination and CEO Michael McCain's decision to take professional accountability and respond publicly to the crisis.

  1. How does the CEO admitting he was wrong resonate with your own beliefs about professional accountability? 
  2. In what ways do you see this action aligning with or challenging your current approach to accountability in your professional role? 
  3. Considering the better-than-expected conclusion highlighted in the Maple Leaf listeria contamination story, how might acknowledging mistakes contribute to a culture of trust and accountability in your own setting?
