When I hire an accounting clerk their is a “job descrpition” and I do want them to take “responsiblity” for their work.
What decision rights do they need to properly reconcile a bank account?
Interesting that you would choose accountancy as your example.
When companies start gaining and losing market share, complying with OSHA standards, maintaining critical infrastructure, and developing new products/processes, based on their high standard of bean-counting, I'll take your point.
