It&#x27;s the difference between heroic responsibility and actual causality.<p>&quot;Of course it&#x27;s my fault. There&#x27;s no-one else here who could possibly be responsible for anything&quot;.<p>The whole subtext of this was &quot;Here&#x27;s how I fucked up in leading this company&quot;, but then the actual text is causality. It is his responsibility to make sure employees are trustworth? Yes. Is he the cause of employees abusing trust? No.<p>He then also determined that his responsibility was to let people know what had happened, so that&#x27;s what he did. He told us the things they used to figure out what happened in order to attempt (and fail, and then attempt again...) to prevent it from recurring.
