authority and accountability
Authority refers to the legitimate power or right to make decisions, give orders, and enforce rules within a certain context or organization. It is the ability to control and direct others' actions based on a position or expertise. Accountability, on the other hand, implies being responsible for one's actions, decisions, and their consequences. It involves answering for one's performance and outcomes, as well as accepting the consequences, both positive and negative, that result from one's actions.
