Valuing Taking Responsibility

What if you were to say right now “I am 100% responsible for my results” could you own that? 

If you were followed around every minute of everyday by a camera, what would you do differently? 

What could you have done differently today?

When we accept 100% responsibility for our results that means there is no room for excuses to blame influences external to ourselves.

(Lets not get technical and picky about extenuating circumstances either, fire, flood, hurricane, earth quake) I get it. 

YOU'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. 

But how you pick yourself up after it IS. How you rebuild IS. The choices you make ARE.

This is Value #4 for us at TCI and it’s a powerful one.  We all know that it’s the standard we hold ourselves to. 

If someone in our team did not get the results they were working towards in the week, we take responsibility for that too. 

• What didn’t we do to ensure each team member was supported?
• What could we have done better?
• How can we support that team member to develop a communication system or accountability system?
• What needs to be taught?
• What do we need to learn?

In your work, business or even personal life, when you do not deliver a result what happens then? 

• Do you point the finger at that person or thing that got in the way, or didn’t come through? 
• Or do you reflect on what you could have done better. What your gap was. What you need to learn?

Success leaves clues. The successful strategy for outstanding results is to be able to take on more responsibility, to welcome accountability as a measure for results and to be able to assist others to achieve their results too. 

Are you aiming for a successful life? 

Are you working towards a successful world?

Like the quote in the pic above says “No single drop of water thinks it’s responsible for the flood” but you and I both know, everything we do or don’t do contributes to the whole. 

We are all in this together. 
We are all one. 

What results or non results are YOU contributing?

As always I would love to know you stopped by. Please like, share and/or comment if this has provided you with a provoking thought or inspired you to learn something new. Thank you for reading xx
