Do you take responsibility for your action and the subsequent consequences?

Yes, but Id be a liar if I said I was always that way

Sgt Joe LaBranche Always,even though at times the consequences are more than i would like.

When you lead, not only do you have to take responsibility for your own actions, you also must take responsibility for the actions, or inactions, of those who are your subordinates. To do that effectively, you have to keep reminding yourself: "I can delegate authority. I cannot delegate responsibility."
