The problem is that a well-mowed lawn and a flag in front of a house is 'responsible', but the overgrown lawn of a teacher who volunteers her free time is 'irresponsible'.
A pizza profitable startup founder can manage nine employees, but that doesn't mean anything for 'responsibility'. A BigBoxCo manager can manage eight employees and be 'responsible'; if he weren't responsible, why would BigBoxCo pay him a salary?
The trouble is that few people "measure" responsibility, they just look at the signals that have become associated with responsibility.
