Responsible Leaders

We cannot define leadership without responsibility. Leaders who cannot own their actions are no leaders at all. Antoine de Saint-Exupery once said, “A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten', he does not say 'My men were beaten.'” He does not just take credit on victories, but more so, he own defeats as well. He does not point fingers when everything’s going wrong, instead he kneels down in acknowledgement of failure. He stands up stronger from the lessons learned and move ahead eager to fight again.
