excuses

Explain rather than excuse

I'm focused on deliverables, not just activity, so during our knowledge work team meeting about objectives, I want to emphasise results over excuses. Few of us have had the privilege of working on high-performance teams where we're genuinely excited to go to work, and that's the kind of environment I want to foster. What about you?

Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don’t put them both together by claiming you ‘don’t have the time’.”
