"Leaders must be willing to put the ship's performance ahead of their egos... Eventually, I told the crew 'It's your ship. You're responsible for it. Make a decision and see what happens.'" -- Captain Abrashoff
We've seen this elsewhere in the "Five Dysfunctions of a Team," which stresses emphasis on results over ego.
In fact, I'm looking forward to our meeting on Tuesday where we'll review the department's 2008 goals. Several of these goals have been set not by me, but by those who would be accountable for achieving them. That kind of ownership inspires dedication.
