you just hate it when people make excuses for their failures?
So do I. But do you know what I hate even more? Finding
myself making excuses for my failures! I have a policy
that I try to live by: No excuses.
Here
are some thoughts on a "No Excuses" policy.
People
will respect you. When you say that there are no excuses,
that you blew it, and that you take full responsibility
to make the situation right, people will be astounded
(since very few people make no excuses) and they will
come to a greater respect of you.
You
will find yourself taking greater responsibility. When
you know that your policy is to have no excuses, there
will be less room for error because you will be doing
everything that you can to make sure the job gets done!
You
will become the "go to" person. When someone wants something
done, they will turn to you because they know that they
can count on you to perform. And they know they won't
get any excuses! This will improve your level of success,
and that is exactly what you are aiming for, right?
Practice
up: "You're right. There is no excuse for that. I will
fix it immediately." Refreshing!
