I appreciate his transparency and willingness to admit to making a mistake. It's the sign of a great leader who can pick himself after taking a hard fall and keep moving forward.

This can be said about 99% of employees, from CEOs to mail clerks, who violate policies & procedures (or violate the boundaries of common sense). Thank god most employees don't have blogs. From Dennis Kozlowski to the guy who comes into work late and always has an excuse, there's no accountability in the American workforce. Great companies operate on the right side of the ethical spectrum and have little tolerance for 'spin.' We have a corporate culture in America that lacks accountability.
