"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

Responsibility or blame?

Responsibility is a hot topic. In politics, news, business and last but not least society. As long as there are unsolved issues—we can fight about whose responsibility it was: The boss, co-worker, politician, government? Play the blame game. But never think about yourself!

Or should you?

Dealing with blame is what differentiates the good, the bad and the ugly; especially in the really tough times. Management has to show responsibility not only inside the team but also outside the team. Still many fail to show their responsibility towards customers. Having a complaints department just does not cut it anymore.

Too many overlook that responsibility starts within the own yard. It’s not a question of education, position, hierarchy, gender, et cetera. How much blame can you take? How much should you take? What can you do to deal with it?

How do you play the blame game?
