"What is the difference between taking responsibility and bearing
responsibility? The former is what the prime minister, Boris Johnson, keeps
telling us he is doing. But the latter is what Sue Gray says senior figures at
the heart of government should do.
“The senior leadership at the centre, both political and official, must bear
responsibility for this culture,” wrote the civil servant in her report on
rule-breaking parties at Downing Street during the pandemic.
As I’ve written about in my work on leadership, if you bear responsibility you
carry a mark. People can see that you are responsible. This is not what the
prime minister is doing. He takes responsibility and then immediately reneges
on it."
