Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.

The "loneliness at the top" that senior officials often feel comes
from the certain knowledge that they alone are responsible for the
failure or success of the organization. They may share their authority
with associates, but not their responsibility. When a sports franchise
suffers a losing season, the general manager and the coaches are held
accountable. They, not the individual players, are responsible for the
failure of the team; the team merely followed orders. When you become
the leader, when you set the course, you must accept responsibility for
the outcome.
