Accountability is about setting the anticipation, apparently broadcasting it, and then retaining yourself and every individual inside your sphere of leverage to blame for consistently gathering the established expectations. Accountability is a method, with a starting and an end. It is not about telling persons what you anticipate them to do, then rapidly going on to the next thing.

This article proposes an alternative orientation for leaders that, while in pursuit of this objective, the leader focuses on the needs of generic terms or subordinates, or both. Large-scale assessment of leadership in the Royal Air Force in terms of followers shows that although there is some surface support for the task / relationship dichotomy, the more important division is made up of three parts: between people who only look up to meet the demands of their generic terms (Orpheans), which is usually downward attention to the demands of their subordinates (Prometheans), and those who try to look in both directions (Janusians) (Cowsill and Grint 2008).

We have made no try to integrate transformational (charismatic) or trait idea into this mid-range schema. As an outcome, the focus is on transactional authority (but not at the most micro level) as are against to charismatic leadership.
