I asked this question in the Wisdom of the Crowd:

How should leaders take responsibility for big mistakes in their organizations?

Here are the responses: (50 Votes)

54 % - They should resign.
36 % - They should come forward and take charge to handle the problem. 
6 % - They should take a salary cut.
4 % - They should commit harakiri.
0 % - They should leave to their lower level staff to handle the problem.
