[Verse 1] The boardroom decides but never pays the price When predictions fail they just roll the dice Move to new positions before the truth comes out Leaving others holding bags of doubt But there's a better way to make them care When outcomes matter and stakes are shared [Chorus] Symmetry, accountability Make the deciders face reality Post-decision review, track every choice Give the silent risks a voice Long horizon stakes that can't escape Symmetric accountability takes shape [Verse 2] Formal review process maps each call To the person who made it, consequences fall Not just for acting when they should have waited For staying silent when they should have stated Commission and omission both have weight When careers depend on getting it straight [Chorus] Symmetry, accountability Make the deciders face reality Post-decision review, track every choice Give the silent risks a voice Long horizon stakes that can't escape Symmetric accountability takes shape [Bridge] Public commitments on the record stand Reputational stakes throughout the land Assignment cycles come and go But accountability's got to flow Beyond the normal corporate game Track the outcomes, name the name [Verse 3] When leaders know they'll face the heat For every choice and missed heartbeat Strategic thinking starts to change Long-term vision rearranged The incentives finally align With outcomes down the bottom line [Chorus] Symmetry, accountability Make the deciders face reality Post-decision review, track every choice Give the silent risks a voice Long horizon stakes that can't escape Symmetric accountability takes shape [Outro] If asymmetric drives distortion Symmetric accountability's the portion That keeps the organization true To what the data's telling you
