Quotes from the same author

Until you accept total responsibility - no matter what - you won't be able to put plans in place to accomplish your goals.
 David Cottrell
Leadership can't be claimed like luggage at the airport. Leadership can't be inherited, even though you may inherit a leadership position. And leadership can't be given as a gift - even if you've been blessed with an abundance of leadership skills to share with someone else. Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

To become a courageous leader, you must realize that accepting responsibility is not optional - it's mandatory.

Successful people keep moving, even when they are discouraged and have made mistakes.
