Boris Grundl - Responsibility now scientifically measurable

Nationwide Study: Grundl Leadership Academy's Responsibility Index for the first time reflects how Germans assess and live the topic of responsibility. How does Germany deal with responsibility? This previously scientifically unanswered question is now being regularly answered by the Grundl Leadership Academy through the Responsibility Index. Thanks to a representative survey, the platform now provides a clear picture for the first time: the understanding, assessment, and practice of responsibility in Germany. Desire for responsibility: That is the goal of the Responsibility Index launched in 2017. The initiators of the study on responsibility surveyed 3,000 individuals of all ages, genders, and federal states. More than 1,000 evaluable responses have been received. The analysis of this representative survey now provides initial scientifically substantiated facts. Some results confirm what has only been suspected so far, such as "Germans perceive the responsibility of others more clearly than their own": 62 percent of respondents have a sharper focus on their surroundings than on themselves. Overall, the ability to take responsibility is very high for many. However, there is a lack of attention to it. This means that people can, but are not so keen on taking responsibility. Furthermore, the survey reveals what Germans actually consider responsible. Honesty (16 percent), reliability (15 percent), and environmental awareness (10 percent) are top rankings. The evaluation also reveals: "Principles are more important than operational implementation." An exemplary conclusion: Many consider environmental protection particularly important, but neglect to consistently separate waste. This result also confirms in leadership: "People like the principle of being a leader," explains leadership expert and owner of the Grundl Leadership Academy, Boris Grundl. "And the status that comes with it. However, taking actual responsibility for individual tasks is less interesting." Particularly surprising is that leaders do not handle responsibility much better than non-leaders. This suggests that the topic does not play a special role in the selection of leaders. Therefore, it seems sensible for the future to focus more on responsibility in the recruitment and development of leaders. For this purpose, the Grundl Leadership Academy has developed tools: the result report Focus on Responsibility and the more detailed Leadership Excellence Report. The survey and calculation method of the study is based on the research of Professor Robert S. Hartman, who created the Hartman Value Profile. The sample was obtained through online survey, representative by age, gender, and federal state. Responsibility was measured in three dimensions: human, factual, and principled – each related to society and oneself. More information and results are available at www.responsibilityindex.org. Special added value: Everyone can compare their own quality of responsibility with the German average. A free self-test on www.responsibilityindex.org allows interested individuals to gain an initial insight into their personal status quo. The goal: Those who engage with the topic can improve their impact.
