The Way Your Work Sways

The Way Your Work Sways

When a project isn’t going your way, it’s more than likely you think too much responsibility is on the shoulders of another. It’s their fault for not bringing their A game. It’s easy to think someone else is dragging your work down.

Does that not sound like you? No? Then maybe you think it’s all on you. They’re not happy and it’s your fault.

Our work is a constant sway between the two mindsets. Our job is to keep the sway to a minimum. Too far on the other guy, and you put yourself in a silo no one wants to stand around. Too hard on yourself puts you in a downward spiral no one believes they can save.

The best we can do is pay attention; to notice which way we’re swaying and how far we’ve swayed, then to work past the obstacles to get you and the team where you need to go.
