Responsibility is everyone’s business: Be responsible for what you say, decide, and do and set the right goals to generate value for not only ourselves but also our global societies.
We are responsible for the choices we make: "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction": Any action taken (cause) will have a corresponding response or consequence (effect), even if it's not always of the same magnitude or directly opposite. People or organizations are different, they have different mindsets; they have different goals and expertise, they compete in different areas, and they have a different scale. So they set different goals and make different choices.
In a modern and fair society, people need to be responsible for their decisions and actions to create order from chaos, and build a collaborative society. Collaboratively, if we all work towards common goals, it becomes far easier to achieve. We have a problem to solve together to build on morale and real productivity; advocating open leadership, professionalism, and mutual sharing in successes.
Our actions have a ripple effect on the world around us: "You reap what you sow": This proverb emphasizes that our actions (cause) have direct consequences (effect). If you plant good seeds (positive thinking and actions), you can expect good results (positive outcomes). Conversely, negative mindsets or actions will likely lead to undesirable consequences.
The truth is that each of us is a complex blend of contrasts - positive and negative; intuitive and analytical with imperfect judgment. So it’s important to define a set of common values, but also appreciate fresh ideas, unique insight, and bold actions to achieve value-added high performance. Accountability needs to be well-embedded in the organizational culture. Responsibility is everyone’s business: Be responsible for what you say and do and set the right goals to generate value for not only ourselves but also our global societies.
Careful planning and anticipating potential outcomes can lead to better results: "Failing to plan is planning to fail": This maxim emphasizes the importance of planning and strategizing (cause) to achieve desired outcomes (effect). Without proper planning, individuals or businesses are more likely to encounter challenges and experience setbacks. Appropriate planning and estimating should be done on the front end of the initiatives.
However, those initiatives, especially the large-scale ones, never go from being well managed, on budget, and on schedule to outright failure overnight. There is always a transition period when the business initiative is “troubled.” If you can get through the noise to see the real issues, you have a window of opportunity in which the initiatives can potentially be rescued. So things are dynamic, planning is crucial, but be flexible on the way of making appropriate adjustments.
In the face of the increasing pace of changes in, a more hyperconnected & interdependent global society, there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to addressing the different psychological responses to changes happening in our professional and personal lives. So it is important to try to find ways to make people feel involved in the design and implementation of the change. The more transparent a change effort, the less uncertainty, and consequently less fear. All people should take a certain level of responsibility for their judgments and behaviors, and work in building a contemporary organization or society.
