“Today the Israeli government continues seizures of Palestinian land for settlements, military incursions into surrounding countries and denial of the right of Palestinians expelled by terror to return. Ariel Sharon, Israel's prime minister, is a war criminal who should be in prison, not in office. Israel's own Kahan commission found that Sharon shared responsibility for the Sabra and Shatila massacres.” ShouldWarCountryGovernmentTodayFoundResponsibilityLandMilitaryReturnOfficePrisonTerrorIsraelCriminalsDenialMinistersPrimePalestinianPrime MinisterIsraeliSettlementMassacresArielSeizuresSharonShared Responsibility Author:Ken Livingstone

“Authority never matches responsibility. That's one of the great myths and delusions of all times. Winning managers and individual performers at all levels know that effectiveness means building your own network and creating your own authority. Those who succeed always reach far beyond formal deputation, take initiatives, and take the heat when things go awry. That's true in the military in times of war, true for 200 person manufacturing firms, and true at giant automakers or software companies.” KnowsMeanPersonsWarWinningIndividualLevelsResponsibilityCompanyMilitaryBuildingSucceedAuthorityCreatingMythAll TimeManagersFirmHeatGiantsDelusionPerformersSoftwareInitiativeFormalEffectivenessManufacturingSoftware Company Author:Tom Peters

“One practical point many experts will attest to is that if you want to develop someone as a leader, give them lots of responsibility early in their lives and careers. The military does that. I can remember being officer of the deck on a destroyer, on watch and in charge at two in the morning as we plowed through the Mediterranean while 300 shipmates slept below decks. I was 25 at the time. I don't know how much of a leader I ever became, but the experience certainly brought home to me a sense of responsibility for others.” GivingHomeRememberResponsibilityLeaderMorningMilitaryDeckSense Of Responsibility Author:Walter Kiechel
