Excuses and Finger-pointing Attempts to avoid accountability Tendency to assign fault (and not own up to it) is a failure of character When something on your watch fails, own it and fix it going forward “Extreme Ownership” cf. Sin: 1 John 1:8-9; James 5:16; Acts 8:22-24

Excuses and Finger-pointing “In a world filled with finger-pointing politicians, broke state and city governments and vexing global challenges, it can truly be said, “we get what we tolerate.” Whether it’s in business or in our public institutions, let’s adopt an extreme ownership mentality to promote positive change. Anything less is a prescription for failure.” -Art Petty Leadership Caffeine™ —“It’s Not What You Preach, it’s What You Tolerate”
