Molly McPherson on why people won't admit what they did. She cites a New York Times story about NFL insider Diana Rossini, and argues that dodging accountability at work bleeds into your personal life, letting bad stories stick around and grow.
It's when people don't want to own up to shit. This is what it looks like. Okay, so we're still seeing the spin that's happening. So now Wednesday, the New York Times published a long investigation. Now I would love to show you the New York Times story, but the New York Times now makes me verify every single time I log in on my desktop, and it verifies me from my BU, my Boston University account when I taught there. And that's where I had my New York Times subscription, but that's not my email anymore, so I can't share that with you. And that's annoying to me because I'm paying for the New York Times. Uh, anyway, so, uh, New York Times publishes a long investigation headline, Diana Rossini was an NFL insider. Was she also out of bounds? This came out the week in June. Vault, here is the lesson here. If you work in any organization, you're in senior leadership, or you are the person at the center of it. And like Molly McPherson also says, what happens in the professional world happens in the personal world too. When you don't take accountability, stories do not go away. They have legs and they continue.
