THE buck stops here," stated a small sign on the desk of the late Harry S. Truman, former President of the United States. Mr. Truman had a sense of responsibility. He knew there was no point in shifting responsibility to others. He was the President. He had to make the final decisions. He had authority, power, knowledge and above all, responsibility. Not everyone seems capable of it. It's so much easier to "cop out" and pass the buck to someone else. It's simpler to shift blame to someone else's shoulders.
