Credit Course

"Cooperation is a priority of good leadership. The only thing that's not shared is blame. A strong leader accepts blame and gives credit." -- John Wooden

My caveat would be that the blame and credit should be accurate. Taking blame when you were not at fault reduces your credibility, as well as the accountability of others who may not otherwise learn it. The key might be to be avoiding public blaming of others, no matter how "justified" it seems.
