Taking responsibility, accepting accountability

As a consequence of his work, he is often in contact with HR managers. Working in Romania, he is impressed about their knowledge, their ideas and also in the young participants in trainings about their eagerness to learn and willingness to work hard.

“On the other hand I am confronted with a continuous value conflict concerning my personal values 'taking responsibility' and 'accepting accountability' and the behavior of quite some Romanians in Bucharest”, Bax added.

He outlines this conflict which he founds essential, especially that the level of self awareness comes from self-reflection and introspection, and the power to admit one's own share in one's own success and failure.

“I really believe that Bucharest would benefit highly of it in various areas and on various levels”, John Bax continued.

The main change he hopes Romanian to make is to change from mechanical procedural way of doing things to a more result-focused way using the combination of best practice and creativity.

“On the question about improvement of performances depending on cultural or organizational features, I would like to say that it hardly ever depends on only one or the other”, he said.
