    If there is one thing that really irks me about some people, it is that they constantly choose to play the blame game. No matter what happens, it is never their fault & always someone else’s. We just have to look at many Politicians to see how prevalent it is in today’s society. Playing the blame game is so lame and it delivers poor results. Exceptional leaders never play the blame game, ever. They take 100% responsibility for 100% of what happens, period. This is one of the key reasons why they are exceptional.
