Taking Responsiblity

Whenever a leader fails, it is very important that he or she takes responsibility for his or her actions. Sometimes it is very hard to admit one's mistakes, especially if he or she made a very poor decision. In the end, people gain respect for a leader who "mans up" and admits that he or she did made a mistake. I was at my sister's college rugby game, and the referee made a poor call. He blew his whistle and acknowledged the players, coaches, and fans that he made an incorrect call. I thought this was noble. If our football coaches make a bad call or mess up they take responsibility. A good leader takes responsibility for his or her mistakes.
