Accountability

Accountability is a big part of having a successful team. Without everyone fulfilling their responsibilities the team begins to fall apart. We all know what our duties are as a Bonner and what we have to do to uphold them. However college life can throw many obstacles at each of us. As much as we would love to only be involved in Bonner in reality there are other things that demand our attention. I think we must learn to be understanding of one another. We must remember that many times when a person slips up they do not do it willingly and many times they feel just as awful about it as the rest of us do. This does not mean that we should allow it to become a habit however. As TJ mentioned we should work with one another to figure out what can be done to prevent this from occurring. We must not confront someone with guns raised but we should confront them with the mindset that their is a problem and as your teammate we want to help you fix this problem. Many times failure to fulfill ones responsability is because that particular person is already greatly overwhelmed and stressed. If we confront them with the motive to punish them and yell at them this will only worsen the problem and nothing will come of it expect harsh feelings.
