Day 357: Hands on, America...

This concept of playing victim. I don't know why, but in my life right now, this is. It's been more clear to me what that means and how it shows up when I see people playing that role. And there's just no place for you to play victim at all. You know, you're not at the mercy of every single thing that happens to you. You have control over some things. You have control over how you respond and. And complaining about things, throwing other people under the bus, shooting the leader in the back, behind his back, and, you know, not taking responsibility. It seems to be more of what we see as normal. And people have the sense of entitlement and just don't want to own it. They don't want to take responsibility. So that really puts leaders in a good position because, you know, people are looking for that in leaders. And if you can. If you can be that way and own it and take responsibility, people will give you second chances. People won't shoot you in the back so fast. And, you know, you'll be able to rally the troops. You'll be able to kind of influence. Have the influence that you want, whether that's with your target audience or with the people that you're leading. And it's. It's becoming more rare and rare to be able to just take responsibility. And sometimes even when you're not at fault, but someone's got to own it, so the leader has to step up.
