以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在大选中最重要的挑战者加迪·艾森科特近日回顾了军旅生涯教会他的领导力课题。他说：“事情顺利时，把促成成果的人推到前台；事情出错时，站出来承担责任。”
Gadi Eisenkot, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s most important challenger in Israel’s election, recently reflected on what military service taught him about leadership. “When things go well, put the people who made it happen out front,” he said. “When things go wrong, step forward and take responsibility.”
在诺曼底登陆行动开始前，德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔将军起草了两份声明，一份用于登陆成功，另一份用于登陆失败。后者写道：“我们在瑟堡-勒阿弗尔地区的登陆未能获得令人满意的立足点，我已下令部队撤退。……部队、空军和海军已尽到了勇敢和尽职所能做的一切。如果这次尝试有任何过失或错误，完全由我一人承担。”
Before the D-Day operation began, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower drafted two statements, one to be issued if the invasion succeeded, the other if it failed. The latter read: “Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. . . . The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”
