Responsibility is a unique concept …
You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished.
You may delegate it, but it is still with you… If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else.
Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.
Admiral Rickover 60 Minutes interview, 2015
Responsibility is ownership, fostering collaboration, empowering others to succeed and create valuable outcomes.
And you might even get some of the credit for it too.
Marck, 2018
