Eisenhower & D-Day: "The responsibility is mine alone."

from Superhero Leadership with Peter Cuneo · host Peter Cuneo

Most leaders want authority. Far fewer are willing to accept accountability. And that's exactly why so many fail when it matters most. On the eve of D-Day, General Dwight D. Eisenhower prepared two statements: one for victory and one for disaster. In the event the invasion failed, he had already written the words: "The responsibility is mine alone." Think about that. Before a single soldier landed on the beaches of Normandy, before the outcome was known, Eisenhower had already accepted full responsibility for whatever happened next. No excuses.No finger-pointing.No blame. Just leadership. That's the essence of Superhero Leadership Essential #2: Accept Accountability. Real leaders don't hide when things go wrong. They step forward. Because leadership starts where excuses end. #SuperheroLeadership #Leadership #DDay #Eisenhower #Accountability #LeadershipDevelopment #BusinessLeadership #USA250 #ExecutiveLeadership #PeterCuneo Learn more about your ad choices.
