PPP 213 | How to Help You and Your Team Stop Blaming and Start Taking Responsibility, with author Christopher Avery

Taking Responsibility

Think back over the last week or so, when something went wrong. Maybe you had a team member or other stakeholder who dropped the ball. They were supposed to deliver and they didn't and now it's impacting your project. Or something didn't go well in a meeting you were running--perhaps there was a problem with the A/V or the video conferencing system. Or something at home. Something went wrong--different from what you wanted and expected. And you are not happy. What's your first response? Our guest today says that, for most people, the response is predictable: lay blame.

In this episode, I'm joined by Christopher Avery, author of a The Responsibility Process: Unlocking Your Natural Ability to Live and Lead with Power, and I'm excited to introduce you to some ideas in the book.
