APS' Culture of accountability.

During an internet search on cultures of accountability;
I came across a "freebee", link, from which, the following
survey was derived.


Directions: Please read each statement and indicate the extent
to which the statement is true about the leadership of the APS
according to the following scale:

1. Not at All.
2. To Some Extent
3. To a Moderate Extent
4. To a Great Extent
5. To a Very Great Extent

_____ 1. Members of the leadership of the APS are willing to be personally measured against the outcomes of a project.

_____ 2. You can trust members of the leadership of the APS to deliver on their commitments.

_____ 3. Members of the leadership of the APS provide honest assessments of projects or their aspect of projects.

_____ 4. You can expect members of the leadership of the APS to report early warning signs that a project is in trouble.

_____ 5. Members of the leadership of the APS do not "sugarcoat" results (make them seem better than they really are) or minimize problems.

_____ 6. Members of the leadership of the APS are willing to openly face and accept the consequences of their decisions.

_____ 7. Members of the leadership of the APS will say (in so many words) the "buck stops here" (I accept responsibility).

_____ 8. Members of the leadership of the APS do not cover up or run from mistakes, errors or problems.

_____ 9. When things go wrong, members of the leadership of the APS look to solve the problem rather than avoid, hide it or simply find fault.

_____ 10. Members of the leadership of the APS give honest estimates of the time and resources required to complete a project.


10 would is the minimum possible score; 50 is the maximum.
By my reckoning 30 is barely passing,
40 would be reassuring,
50 would be great!


I gave them a 15.

I am curious what other stakeholders think.
