"If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well"
- Brian Clough
About this Quote
This quote by Brian Clough is a commentary on the accountability of leadership. It suggests that if a chairman makes a decision to fire the manager they at first designated, then they must also accept obligation for the decision and resign. This is because the chairman is eventually responsible for the success or failure of the group, and if they are not satisfied with the efficiency of the manager they selected, then they must take obligation for their decision and resign. Clough's quote indicates that a chairman needs to not be able to make decisions without effect, which they need to be held responsible for their decisions. This quote is a pointer that leaders ought to be held to a higher requirement and must be willing to accept obligation for their choices.
