Responsiveness and responsibility go together.

 In a small business, every action has someone responsible for it, whereas in a large organisation , or worse, a public bureaucracy, nobody has responsibility for the dumb things they do, they just become an automatically imposed “rule” that carries the sanction of the organisation.

Taking responsibility is not just good policy, good for the employees, it is good marketing.
