When we allow our excuses to succeed, we allow our futures
to be limited. Too often we believe that an excuse is temporary -- that it
excuses a current outcome, or temporary setback by illustrating a temporary
limitation. Leadership Expert Christopher Avery, PhD, and Leaders such as
Former Quarterback Steve Young, strongly disagree with this thought process.
The single most important quality for success in any venture
is opportunity. When we successfully use excuses for our current setbacks and
failures we nurture a Victim Mentality, which sets up limitations against
opportunities in the future. We literally set up road blocks against our own
success by using excuses.
Stanford University, with Steve Young offer a brilliant
lecture series which describes this problem, as well as offering my
solutions in the areas of performance, and negotiation.
Christopher Avery
offers an amazing live lecture, which focuses on Leadership, and how to
step away from the Victim Mentality, which strangles our futures.
