[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2823453, member: 109862"] Yep lot of bosses and “leaders” out there with little if any integrity to give credit where it is due. Of course there’s lots of rotten employees too but where the responsibility (and pay) is higher, more is to rightly be expected. I forget who I first heard say that, whether it was in the field of church ministry, education administration, or military leadership, it would certainly apply to any of these, but one thing that’s really stuck with me was this observation (paraphrased, don’t remember the exact quote) “A good leader takes the heat for their teams mistakes and gives them the credit for their successes”. Not to say you don’t address those failures and try to lead them to better performance BUT when things go wrong and a leader throws those under them under the bus for it (and most will do this) that automatically shows me what they’re made of and it’s not the stuff of someone I’d trust to follow. By that same token if a leader leads his team to success or victory or some achievement and chooses to stay out of the limelight and let them have “the glory” as it were, that shows me a lot too. I could trust someone like that. And I don’t think they’d steal ideas and take credit for them. Such men and women are rare in this world. [/QUOTE]
