Leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving subordinates credit for everything that goes well.
We the people, elect leaders not to rule but to serve.
Dwight D. Eisenhower served America as its 34th President. During World War II, he was chosen to lead as the Supreme Allied Commander.
This is a lesson our current “leaders” need to learn.

Love both quotes but the first one stood out the most, largely because I believe he lived it out in his leadership as a general

I agree with you Jim. If D-Day had been a bust, Eisenhower was prepared to take the heat for its failure. Effective leadership will never shy away from accountability.
