"We're tired of turning in crap"
Howdy ,
A member of my team sent me that line about their own past work, after I told them their latest submission was a real improvement.
No defensiveness. No excuse-making. Just ownership, in their own words, laughing emoji attached.
That sentence took two years to earn.
Not because I was soft on them. Because I was present with them, long before I was ever demanding of them.
That's the order. Relationship, then accountability. Never the other way round. Never accountability alone.
Keep winning at work and in life.
