A nice clip from The Diary of a CEO on personal responsibility, fault vs responsibility and transition:
Distinguishing Responsibility from Fault
The core of this point lies in understanding that personal responsibility is not the same as fault. Matthew explains that while there are many things in life that are genuinely not our fault—such as trauma, injustice, or difficult circumstances—we can still take responsibility for how these situations affect us and how we choose to respond.
Steven Bartlett highlights this by referencing Lewis Howes, who exemplifies extreme ownership by stating, "and that's on me", even when discussing situations that appear to be someone else's fault. This isn't about blaming oneself for events outside of one's control, but rather about taking charge of one's internal state and actions in response to those events.
