November 5, 2008 - Real Leaders

A real leader takes the blame when things don't go as expected:

"And though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours."
- John McCain, in his concession speech

And a real leader gives the credit to the team when things do go well:

"But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you."
- Barack Obama, in his victory speech
