Once in a
while I get a little time after school, before an evening event, to sift
through Twitter to search for interesting bits of info to share with staff or
put on the Blog. Today I saw this little piece on what causes someone to
be mediocre. This is from a Blog by Seth
Godin located at http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2014/01/the-four-horsemen-of-mediocrity.html
The
four horsemen of mediocrity
Deniability--"They decided, created,
commanded or blocked. Not my fault."
Helplessness--"My boss won't let me."
Contempt--"They don't pay me enough to put
up with the likes of these customers."
Fear--"It's good enough, it's not worth
the risk, people will talk, this might not work..."
The
industrial age brought compliance and compliance brought fear and fear brought
us mediocrity.
The good news
about fear is that once you see it, feel it and dance with it, you have a huge
opportunity, the chance to make it better.
