The leader generally takes responsibility for the resulting consequences of an error that was made by individuals reporting to the leader; This action shows support for team members and creates an environment of trust, accountability and credibility. This situation may have been caused by poor judgment or simply a mistake by the employee. Acceptance of this indirect responsibility demonstrates accountability and thus credibility to both those above and below the leader in the organisation/group. In such cases, the leader needs to evaluate whether proper training or education for employees was lacking, which is an obligation of the leader, and also create systemic change in the organisation so that similar errors do not happen again.
