뜻
Taking ownership of a task.
문화적 배경
In Greek business culture, taking responsibility is highly valued as it shows 'leventia' (bravery/nobility). However, people may be hesitant to admit fault in public to save face. Cypriot Greek uses the same phrase, but the accent and some surrounding particles might change. The sense of family responsibility is extremely strong in Cyprus. In Greek-American or Greek-Australian communities, this phrase is often used to maintain a connection to the traditional values of 'philotimo' and family duty. The concept of 'Euthyne' was a pillar of democracy. No one was above the law, and everyone had to be 'straight' (euthys) in their accounts.
Use it to lead
In a Greek office, being the first to say 'Είναι δική μου ευθύνη' when something goes wrong is the fastest way to earn respect.
Gender Agreement
Always remember that 'ευθύνη' is feminine. Never say 'δικό μου ευθύνη'!
