Thanks for the article. As Stephen R. Covey said in his book “The 7 Habits Of HIghly Effective People”, you either control the outcome within your circle of action, or learn to accept the fact when things are out of your circle of action. Whenever my subordinate give me an excuse, I question them if they have done all that they can, within their circle of action. Usually, the answer is that they haven’t, and they see instantly that they’re giving an excuse without me pointing it out.

- Steff

It resonated so loudly and as I sat here nodding, I thought, ‘Yes! At last someone is reminding us to be accountable for our actions or lack of.’ I hear you loud and clear and as an owner of a business, it remains imperative in my life to honour my appointments. I don’t give two hoots what excuse can be dreamed up for not showing up. Giving an excuse is simply letting down the team. Your team! Integrity and reputation is paramount in my work and I maintain it diligently. No excuses at all. I’ll add here that in a lot of situations, procrastination can injure one as well as inner fear. Both must be eliminated immediately if one is to grow both personally and professionally.
Thank you for sharing this interesting write.
Judy
