It requires asking \u201cwhy\u201d until you\u2019re uncomfortable with the answers \u2014 the truths \u2014 about processes that don\u2019t work, decisions that seemed reasonable at the time and assumptions that were wrong. It requires being willing to discover that you, as a leader, contributed to the problem through your action or inaction.<\/p>\n<p>Surface-level analysis stops at the first convenient answer and never addresses the real why. But the cost of stopping too early is being actively measured in recurring incidents, customer churn and team demoralization, which contributes to team turnover as well. When the same types of problems keep happening, your team learns a lesson: leadership doesn\u2019t actually want to fix things. They want to be seen going through the motions.\u00a0 Taking ownership means following the chain of causality until you find something you can actually fix, and then fixing it. That\u2019s accountability.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-perfect-hire-fallacy\">The perfect hire fallacy<\/h2>\n<p>The Navy\u2019s Nuclear Propulsion Program takes 18-year-olds with the right aptitudes and trains them to operate nuclear reactors in all corners of the globe in 18 months. These aren\u2019t college graduates, and these aren\u2019t people with years of experience. Just the right attitude and aptitude in someone, placed into a rigorous, structured training program that transforms them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4131530\/the-foundation-problem-how-a-lack-of-accountability-is-destroying-cybersecurity.html\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The foundation problem: How a lack of accountability is destroying cybersecurity https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/article\/4131530\/the-foundation-problem-how-a-lack-of-accountability-is-destroying-cybersecurity.html Publish Date: 2026-02-13&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":213050,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.csoonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/4131530-0-92529800-1770987141-NNPTC.png?w=1024","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-213049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-cybersecurity"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213049"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213049"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213049\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":213051,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213049\/revisions\/213051"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213050"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
