Are you pointing fingers, or are you charting the course? Marty shares a brilliant metaphor: if a gardener's corn isn't growing, they don't fire the corn. They check the soil, the water, and the fertilizer. As a leader, you are the gardener. You must accept absolute accountability for your team's environment. Don't wait for a mistake to happen so you can use your employee as an excuse. Take responsibility, nurture the soil, and watch your people grow.
