Thought Tweet #813

by Rick Baker
On Aug 28, 2013

Thought Tweet #813 Accountability: How much? How often? On a 1-to-10 scale, how do you rate your average accountability at work items?

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

How often do you feel accountable for work items?

Once a year, say, when they sit you down for a performance review?

Once a month?

When you attend one of those monthly team meetings?

Once a week?

Because of those weekly team meetings?

Once a day?

All workday?

7/24...dammit, I own a business!

It's in their Motivation: one is motivated to have no boss and have a job while the other is driven by an urge to design and build things of value.

Thought Tweet #811.5

by Rick Baker
On Aug 26, 2013

Thought Tweet #811.5 One bad apple doesn't have to spoil the whole bunch...don't let your views be soured by other people's actions.

 

The Thinking Behind The Tweet

We tend to judge others by their actions; we tend to judge ourselves by our intentions.

We tend to blame situations for our failures: we tend to blame other people for their failures. We tend to give credit to ourselves when we succeed: we tend to give credit to situations when other people succeed. (Attribution Bias)
