This is called 'The Window and the Mirror Leadership Model'. Do you want to be a great leader? Then follow the advice of the consultant in this story. This is quoted from the book [Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don't] by Jim Collins.
"Level 5 leaders look out the window to apportion credit to factors outside themselves when things go well. At the same time, they look in the mirror to apportion responsibility, never blaming bad luck when things go poorly."
