That is what , i suppose is called standing up and getting counted. Am I fan of your blog posts. I am in a way I think. Great work, keep going. That is a mindboggling report from Allen.

A leader has to take reponsibility for the outcomes expected of him/her. Personally, everyone has to accept responsibility of his/her own life. Since I admit "Life is a battle", I am a better soldier now, more proactive, initiative and up-spirited. Great post. A leader has to take reponsibility for the outcomes expected of him/her.

Not every book finishes out as well as the first proposals. Rescheduled title releases at times step on the toes of titles coming out on time resulting in sales and marketing adjustments leaving some "left behind" on a full effort. Some stores don't buy into the hype of some product and titles aren't always stocked or displayed as you dreamed. Maybe demand was stronger than you dreamed and the printer can't keep up. And remember the truck strike about ten years ago causing product to sit in warehouses. The opportunity for finger pointing and excuse making is wide, and often used. You have a competitve acquisition team already. But to have given them to freedom to be honest and accept some blame vs throwing it all elsewhere is the only way an employee can grow, in any business. I hope a lot of mature managers will look at this because focusing only on monthly numbers causing people to spin the facts and bend the truth. Nobody wants to be fired because they make a mistake, but it has happened. Mike I’m not sure everyone outside publishing understands what a jungle it can be.

And not just in my area--I've seen more collaboration across different areas of the company in order to make us successful as a company, not just a SPU/division. When you are fully accountable for your future outcomes, your vision isn't limited to one division . . . or even one company. We're trying to reach the world. And when you take ownership of that, a whole new world of solutions is opened. It's a really cool thing to see these principles at work on a practical level.
