Step Up

Good morning,

Happy Friday! Earlier this week a friend commented on the importance of personal responsibility in team environments. She pointed out that for a team to succeed, the individuals must:

Take personal responsibility.

Teams can accomplish so much more than individuals, but not if being on a team is used as an excuse to leave things up to someone else or to make assumptions. We've all heard people make excuses like, "I thought so-and-so was handling it," when in fact they meant "I failed to make sure it got handled."

Personal responsibility doesn't mean doing everything alone. In fact, delegating tasks is often essential. Personal responsibility means being accountable for the outcomes.

No excuses - have a sunny day!
