BIG answers:

“The opposite of Responsibility is… BLAME”

Jeffrey Gitomer

“Taking responsibility leads to Getting Shit Done!”

Jeffrey Gitomer

“Responsibility is not given… it is taken!”

Jeffrey Gitomer

Wanting to take an ownership position means having determined if are you buying or renting.

If I ask you to abuse a car, you have several responses… No, this car belongs to my friend. Hey, I own this car. Go ahead, it’s just a rental.

(Please give me a moral break, this is just an example, many people take the responsible position that the rental car belongs to someone else and they would treat it like they would their own.)

As a people we tend to abuse what we rent… and take care of what we own.

You are certainly not proud of what you rent… but you sure are of what you own.

Are you taking an ownership/equity position… or just paying rent?

If you don’t have an actual equity position now, you have to act like you do… or you never will.

Jeffrey Gitomer

Most people avoid responsibility and won’t take ownership

People reject or don’t want to deal with complaints or problems because…

they are unsure of themselves

they are unsure of their ability to handle the problem

they are afraid it will get them in trouble

they are afraid it will make them look bad

they are afraid it will look like it was their fault

they are afraid the boss will yell at them

they are afraid it will go on their record

they are afraid it will make them lose their job

they don’t want the hassle

they don’t like, or are afraid of conflict

they don’t think it’s their job

they lack motivation

they could get sued

they know they can’t fix it

(add yours)…

(add yours)…

(Shhh…here’s the secret)

“Responsibility and ownership begin with the right attitude!”

Jeffrey Gitomer
