What's your reaction if someone on your team makes an excuse for failing to achieve a goal or complete a task? That's what I thought. I don't like it, either. And here's the thing -- no one believes excuses. There is zero payoff to an excuse. We might as well break the habit, face the facts, and tell the truth. We completed the task or we didn't. If we didn't, there is no-one but ourselves responsible. There are no believable excuses. We might as well stop trying to use them. -- doug smith

As soon as something is gone let it go. -- doug smith Leadership Call to Action: That thing that's been on your mind but has long since left your life? Let it go. That team member who was disruptive or lazy and is no longer on your team? Let it go. Let it go.

It's sometimes hard to let go of a goal, but if it's not serving you, let it go. -- Doug Smith
