True Ownership: Positively Responsible


“Deliver bad news early and personally. Own your plan, and quickly, proactively act on variances. Attack the issue, not the person, and assume positive intent.”

(Ronald A. Williams, CEO of Aetna, in “The Turnaround King.” by Sonia Alleyne. Black Enterprise: September 1, 2006. pg. 96)
