Thanks. Its hard to see how you can have ‘good governance’ without holding people accountable for violating performance expectations, ethical standards, and legal norms.
At the risk of sounding academic, without discipline there is no order, and without order you have dysfunction which leads to chaos. The very word ‘governance’ implies order brought about by control mechanisms, but we seem to be averse to the concept of administering necessary penalties that ultimately bring stability to an organization or system.
In short we’re not willing to do what’s necessary for the long term good of our society.
Clearly not.
