Accountability in Leadership
Leaders, like ship captains, bear ultimate responsibility for the outcomes within their sphere of influence, even when they are not actively on duty. In the Navy, if a ship's captain is asleep in his bunk and the ship is involved in a collision, he is immediately removed from his position and fired because the culture he created allowed for such an incident to occur. This principle of accountability extends to other high-stakes roles, such as leading the Secret Service, where protecting principals is a matter of life or death.
