From a book I am currently reading: Gill, Roger. Theory and Practice of Leadership. Sage Pub (2006), p. 53:
"US football coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant captures this dimension of transformational leadershop thus: There's just three things I ever say. If anthing goes bad, then I did it. If anything goes semi-good, then we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That's all it takes."

I find inspiration from a famous football coach, though I can’t remember which one (paraphrased):

 

If it goes bad, I did it.

If it goes good, we did it.

If it goes great, you did it.
