Running away

While reading about Delhi election verdict, just remembered a story told by Anand Shankar about APJ and his boss (I think it was Vikram Sarabhay, let me assume so)... while a rocket launching program was on the way, the first launching failed miserably... APJ as team leader of the project was to meet the press conference, where reporters are waiting with all weapons to attack about wasting money on 'useless' things by an underdeveloped country... Sarabhai came to APJ and went with him to the press conference (sarabhai was the then head of space program) and answered all queries of the journalists with the assurance that the team would launch the rocket by next year...
The second launch was a success and APJ went to Sarabhai before press conference... Sarabhai told that it was his (APJ's) day to meet them...

A leader is one who takes the responsibility of failures but gives the credit to the team in the time of success
