Responsibility can’t really be taken away.
An assignment may be tasked to someone else or you might be asked to step down, but responsibility is self-assigned.
If you want to be responsible for making things better but you’re not invited to the meeting, create your own.
If someone with a bigger title says “they’ll take it from here,” you don’t have to stop taking action, following up and keeping it moving the best you can.
Sure, there are times that you will have to pivot because of outside forces, but don’t confuse that with them taking the responsibility away from you.
The responsibility is always yours.
Stay Positive & Has And Always Will Be
