Ok, that might be a little harsh but I do get tired of complaining, finger pointing and “passing the buck” behaviors.  
There is a powerful suggestion that everyone in every organization needs to master “THE 3 R’s” which include Respect, Responsibility and Results.
And, here are some attitudes and behaviors for employees and leaders of all levels to remember:

Respect
Extend an Ear – Listen to Others.
Dignify Differences – Respect Diverse Cultures, Ethnicities, Backgrounds, and ideas.
Concentrate on Courtesy – Be Considerate.
Perform with Pride – Respect Yourself.
Make “The Mission” Matter – Respect the Organization’s Purpose and Your Part in It.
Share the Spotlight – Acknowledge Others’ Contributions.
Get Going “Green” – Respect and Protect Resources.
Slip into Someone Else’s Shoes – Practice Empathy.
Responsibility
Shoulder Your Share – Do Your Part as a Team Player.
Earn Your Expectations – Be a Role Model.
Squelch Any Skepticism – Choose to Be Positive.

Manage Your Mistakes – Own, Admit to, Fix and Learn from Your Errors.
