المعنى
To accept the duty of one's actions.
خلفية ثقافية
Taking responsibility is linked to the concept of 'dugnad'. It's not just about mistakes, but about contributing to the common good. There is a high expectation of 'flat hierarchy'. Even the CEO is expected to 'ta sitt ansvar' just like any other employee. In the US, 'taking responsibility' is often seen through the lens of 'rugged individualism' and personal success or failure. Responsibility is often collective. If one person fails, the whole group might feel the need to 'take responsibility'.
