Résumé

Stop taking charge or taking orders, and start making critical decisions

What makes some people in organizations run from blame while others claim credit for everything? Why is it that so many important decisions get left to so few managers? Why do some people always take charge while others simply take orders? From one of our most original business thinkers comes a diagnosis of the fear of failure that traps all who work in organizations - from the board room to the post room. Complete with tried and tested tools to help everyone make better choices and decisions, The Responsibility Virus will help you to share the burden of leadership and spread responsibility.
