A Quote by Nicola Sturgeon

I take responsibility for everything that happens in the SNP as leader. — © Nicola Sturgeon
I take responsibility for everything that happens in the SNP as leader.
I'm the leader of the SNP. I think you would expect me to say I would vote SNP in whatever constituency I lived in.
The trouble with the SNP is they want power without responsibility. They do not want to take difficult decisions.
Character in many ways is everything in leadership. It is made up of many things, but I would say character is really integrity. When you delegate something to a subordinate, for example, it is absolutely your responsibility, and he must understand this. You as a leader must take complete responsibility for what the subordinate does. I once said, as a sort of wisecrack, that leadership consists of nothing but taking responsibility for everything that goes wrong and giving your subordinates credit for everything that goes well.
I take responsibility for everything in my life, including who I work for and what happens to me because of it.
I think one must take responsibility for one's actions and one's decisions. But one should never take -- one should never assume that everything that happens for the good is achieved by one's self alone.
Somebody has to take responsibility for being a leader.
We have, in the same way, relegated our own responsibility in what happens to our country to the specialists, who are supposed to take care of it, and the individual citizen does not feel that he can judge, and even that he should judge, and take any responsibility. I think there are quite a number of recent developments which show that.
We're all responsible. I'm the leader, the captain of the ship, and I have to take responsibility.
We're all flawed heroes. Responsibility is power. Take responsibility for the consequences of your actions, and the world is yours. Everything is a choice.
Those who cannot think or take responsibility for themselves need, and clamor for, a leader.
I've done everything I know in my heart on every level to take responsibility for what I think I have to. I'm not going to take responsibility for something the government thinks that I should because they think I should.
Whatever happens, take responsibility.
There are people who say, "God is in complete control of everything that happens, and if the Earth is getting warmer, then maybe God intends that." Well, no. God intends for us to take responsibility for how we treat God's creation, and if we choose to use the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet as an open sewer for 110-million tons of global-warming pollution every day, the consequences are attributable to us. And if you are a believer, as I am, I think God intends for us to open our eyes and take responsibility for the moral consequences of our actions.
In my childhood, and particularly when I take the responsibility, I already have sort of keen desire, we must change our system. Then as soon as we reach India, 1959, at once we start working for democratization. Now here if remain in a political sort of field, supreme leader, at the same time religious leader, that may become hindrance of proper democracy.
At the state level, we must take a careful look at what went wrong and make sure it never happens again. The buck stops here, and as your governor, I take full responsibility.
The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant.
