Not only have Brian Bedford and Julie Miller written a good book about creating accountability within organizations, they have written a book that provides an essential cultural corrective about personal responsibility.

I loved this book, and now consider it a must read for anyone leading people. --R. Scott Colglazier (Senior Minister, First Congregational Church of Los Angeles)
