Urgency

You should approach your job with a sense of urgency with ownership of the situation.

Every day I see a lack of a sense of urgency from people in the work place, they do just enough and then pass it on.
Wrong !
Always stay in the circle and stay on it until there is a solution, follow up and follow through. The most used quote from people that just don’t get it is - “ it’s not my job “.

By staying in the circle you learn more, by asking if you can help, you learn more. If you are responsible for something then take control, remember your word is your bond. If the ball is dropped somewhere down the line by someone else it is still a reflection on you. It is less stressful to stay in it then to just pass it on and hope.
Follow up and follow through.

If most people took all that negative energy and time spent complaining about the process and other people and spent that energy helping the process and others they would feel better at the end of the day and they would learn more of the process and maybe even help streamline it.

Take ownership and have a sense of urgency.
