Duty
Duty is the state, or fact, of having a responsibility to deal with something or of having control over someone. Being responsible means fully owning a task, or project, and demonstrating clear management, control, and accountability. Without this, goals and tasks can crumble under confusion, mismanagement, and oversights, while accepting duties builds trust and promotes a safe and positive culture.
