You Signed Up For It

Garth Beyer

More often than not, when someone says “I didn’t sign up for this” they really did.

They signed up for the potential risks, the ones they knew about and the ones they didn’t.

They signed up for the naysayers and pushback and status-quo-upholders.

They signed up to be trusted by others with work on their job descriptions.

Here’s the cold hard truth: we either choose to be accountable or we choose to hide.

When we choose to be accountable, it doesn’t matter what unforeseen event takes place, what the contract lists as your responsibilities or what others ask of you; the accountable person says one of two things.

I signed up for this when I took responsibility.

Or.

I didn’t sign up for this…. but I’m taking responsibility now.

Stay Positive & Lean In, You’ll Be Better Because Of It
