Call me old fashioned but I am an accountability at the lowest level type of guy. That is how I run my shop. These guys know that if they want to be trusted to make decisions and not have me look over their shoulder they need to be ready for the heat if they fuck up. If I fuck up I will take it and not blame it on my CC. I don't think there is enough of that in America anymore. We live in a zero accountability environment. Especially in the youth
I agree with you on your approach to management and accountability and also the problem with youth these days when it comes to accepting responsibility for things that they do and that happen to them.
Bush did appoint the FEMA head, who demonstrated some incompetence during the disaster. He needs to take part of the blame for that. He's responsible for the result in the area of choosing the wrong person to run FEMA. The FEMA head is responsible for his lack of competent direction in the mists of the disaster. And each of the other players share responsibility for their short coming.
