It won’t be easy taking responsibility for people whose actions have put you in hot water and now jeopardize just about everything you’ve built. Your first inclination will be to say that you didn’t know what they were doing, but this makes things worse because it shows that you were negligent or asleep at the switch. No, the best thing to do is to step forward and say that the buck stops with you. In a world where cowards dive down their rabbit holes at the first sign of trouble, your courage will capture everyone's attention. Moreover your integrity will be recognized, appreciated, and amply rewarded.
