Cameron Morrissey on great leaders – Diary Entry #117 – Jump Under the Bus:

“Any mistake in their area of oversight is their fault – They should have seen it coming, should have prepared better, should have audited work better, or should have set up better processes. They understand that there is always something they could have done to prevent the mistake from occurring, and while the employee or peer may have had culpability as well, ultimately they are the leader.”
