Taking Responsibility

Leadership is taking responsibility for any given situation. Not just standing back, but proactively engaging with the situation.

Here’s a great quote I stumbled upon this week. (And it struck a chord.) It’s taken from the fabulous book, Changing Your Story, by Bill Beswick.

“Responsibility means doing what you’re supposed to do, when you’re supposed to do it. It means being where you’re supposed to be, when you’re supposed to be there. It means doing what you say you’re going to do, and doing right by yourself and by others.”

— Bill Belichick (NFL Coach)

Widely regarded as one of the great coaches of all time, Bill Belichick holds the record of most Super Bowl wins (six) all with the New England Patriots. So he definitely knows something about leadership.

Ps It’s the Super Bowl this Sunday... Kansas City Chiefs vs San Francisco 49ers.
