Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility.

You have to assume all the problems, difficulties and doubts of other people and to reflect back your capacity for decision making and action, and for enduring without visible signs of worry or panic.  "Grace under pressure," as John F. Kennedy was so fond of saying, is indeed a definition of success, whether it's on the battlefield or in the office.

In the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have (and which is the most difficult one of all to learn or fake) is the ability to take on responsibility.

It is easy to be responsible for things you control and are sure of; but to be successful you must make yourself responsible for the blunders of the people who work for you as well.

Responsibility requires a highly developed ego and a good deal of courage, but it is ultimately the one test you cannot afford to fail.  You must be willing to accept personal responsibility, for the success of your assignment, for the actions of the people who work for you and for the goals you have accepted or been given.
