No Limits, No Excuses: Power of 100% Responsibility

Greetings, Healthcare Mavericks!?

I'm tired of excuses, aren't you!? I receive many and I definitely give too many?myself.?Ironically, the 'easy way out' of giving excuses turns out to not be easy at all.

In a very powerful?speech?by Lynn G Robbins entitled?Be 100 Percent Responsible, Mr. Robbins shares an insightful story of two employees that worked for him at FranklinCovey. These two gentleman were in the shipping department for all seminar teaching and education materials. At the time, there were?some?major errors?happening?in their department. They were consistently having packages arrive late and with incorrect items.?

When confronted, they didn't want to accept responsibility for their errors. They would say,?

??"It's not our fault! The seminar division filled out the request form incorrectly. It's their fault!"?

??"We shipped on time but the freight company delivered it late. You can't blame us!"

??"The binder subsidiary packed the individual kits with errors and we shipped them as they were given to us. It's their fault."?

?Nothing was ever their fault!

What happened next was nothing short of a miracle.??

Mr. Robbins held the two men 100 percent responsible for ALL THINGS having to do with correctness and?timeliness. If they were successful they earned bonuses. If they were successful consistently, they received even larger bonuses. If they messed up even ONCE, they lost ALL bonuses. Period. No excuses, No exceptions.

And you know what? They never missed a deadline or sent packages with errors ever again. THEY took upon themselves the responsibility of the forms being filled out correctly, the subsidiary doing their job right, and?the?mailing out?of?packages with plenty of time to overnight materials if anything was needed because of last-minute changes.

(Watch the full story?HERE.?Starts at 15-minute mark).

Imagine how your life would be different working with employees being 100 percent responsible for their position? Even better, imagine how different your life would be if you decided right now to be 100 percent responsible for everything in your life?

You might be saying,?"It's not my fault I got divorced!" or "It's not my fault my employee stole from me!"?or "It's not my fault I don't have enough time to do the things I really want to do!"

I know this is really hard to hear. Looking back at the things that have happened in my life and taking responsibility for them, has not been easy. Frankly, they all brought me to my knees wanting to give up. I almost didn't include these examples because of how tough this concept is to comprehend.

I share this message today because I know there are many out there just one decision away from making monumental breakthroughs. If it's true that the old ME needs to die for the NEW ME to be reborn, then it might hurt a little, right??
