About This Quote

This quote by Winston Churchill is the ultimate expression of deflection. The speaker (Churchill) is talking about how he enjoys listening to his colleagues make mistakes, not realizing that he’s the one who caused them. He’s either having fun with his colleagues or completely oblivious to the fact that he’s leading them astray. Either way, it’s very easy for us to see how this quote applies to what we do every day at work.
