No Not, No Can't, No Won't and No Don't Attitude
From Odusina Adewale Hiworks
We must have a zero tolerance for not, won't, can't and don't with regards to Performance and Expectations.
There is a world of opportunities outside the box defined by such negativities.
Between where we Are and the goals or task at hand, set by self or by another, there will always be a box point.
The box is simply to allow for a point to retreat,refresh,reflect, rethink and refire.
However, most people retreat and return or resign to fate.
The box is meant to allows for a soft landing position between set goals or task and the expectations.
For example, if the task is to look for a document in an identified location, say, inside a closet, the closet will then be THE BOX.
An exceptional performer, will look 'IN THE BOX' which is one limited location and 'OUTSIDE THE BOX' which is Limitless and Boundless and the beautiful irony is that when we operate outside the box, even the box is included.
Hence, a document assumed to be in a closet, maybe on the closet,or the table by the closet, or in the second closet, or with the last person it was asigned to and the options go on and on and on.
Personalities with these attitude are always results oriented for most of their tasks and work with very minimal supervision. They also accrue to themselves strong Reliability Rating. We define Reliability at Hiworks as Responsibility + Ownership Motivation.
The critical expectation is that if you must go back without the document, you must be perceived and found to have exhausted all the options for finding that document.
If you were given the task to submit a report by the next morning at 5pm, then your plan to succeed is as critical as your plan not to fail. However, the plan not to fail may imply staying overnight at the office where you are sure the generator will work overnight as against where you stay and there is an embargo on running Genset overnight.
This must be the attitude for all task to be attended in perspective.
We must have a result oriented approach to all our life goals and aspirations.
We must benchmark international BEST practices standards in every aspect of our life pursuit. This will help stretch us to the acceptable limit and to appreciate the sacrifice required to lead in our chosen Career and various life ambitions.
So No to Not, Can't, Won't and Don't.
