I'm sure you're like me. I believe when a decision is made and good things happen, people should receive and take credit for it. I also believe when a decision is made and bad things happen, people should receive and take credit for it. When FINAL decisions are made, people who made those FINAL decisions should take credit good or bad. Don't pawn it off the FINAL decision on someone else. Remember, someone made the FINAL decision. Give that person credit good or bad, but please don't make excuses for it.
Peace.
