Con
If too many individuals within the system will put too much emphasis on accountability it can undermine values such as responsibility, creativity and ambition because no one will want to express their individuality in fear of repercussions for any deviation of the norms or honest mistake.
Pro
If the value of accountability is held by enough individuals in the system it becomes too costly to misuse power or neglect responsibilities due to high probability of repercussions.
