A good leader takes more than his/her share of the blame because he/she is in charge of the project. So, even if someone beneath him/her is at fault, the leader should take responsibility for not properly managing that individual.
A leader should take a little less than his/her share of the credit so that those who developed the project can look upon it and take pride in it. These people will work even harder for this leader on future projects because they know the leader will give them credit instead of being a gloryhound.

Because you are the Leader/big boss you are to blame when $hit hits the fan, its up to the leader to keep things running smooth & when it comes to getting praise for a good deed it gets looked upon as a team effort/group credit , just b/c you are the leader doesn't mean you get all the credit.

A Good leader accepts mistakes readily and gives himself less credit than he deserves. In other words, he accepts blame easy, but doesn't take the credit for his good deeds as easily.

It is meant for people who not only take credit of what was accomplished but also accept whatever failures of the team and not pointing fingers to others to escape the blame and get all the glory.

It means that if you are responsible for the
conduct and actions of one or more persons,
you will be held accountable. It is your res-
ponsibilty to make sure things are done right.
If things go wrong, you will accept blame
for that, regardless of who or whom failed to
do their part.
If things go well or better than expected,
give credit to your crew first. You couldn't
have done it without them.
If you suffer a demotion or a dismissal, don't
blame anyone for that, except yourself.
If you get rewarded or a promotion for a job well done, don't forget to mention your crew.
That's what that means.
I hope this helps you. Good luck to you.

The boss or leader gets the big bucks to make the big decisions and therefore is usually the one held accountable if anything goes wrong.

It's about buffering your subordinates so that you assume some of their blame, or yielding more credit toward them. This is theorized to enhance an organization.

It means he will take responibility for the actions of the people under him whether or not it's his fault, and he will give most of the credit to the people under him.
