You’ll either find a way…or an excuse.
Lisa and I were discussing understanding. Mostly, we were considering this quote from an unknown author…
If only we fought just as hard to understand as we do to disagree.
It morphed into a conversation about the difference between high and low performers. Not that there’s only one difference, but we were considering the one difference we most notice today in our work. We landed on something we’re both seeing – and one we’ve always seen. Making excuses. Blaming something or somebody else.
Great city government leadership leans heavily on a culture where excuses are unacceptable. As Harold Geneen said, “Managers must manage.” Translation: we have to find a way.
Be well. Do good. Grow great!
