Respect the Bubble

I had a little drama yesterday with kindergarten registration, so I started the day with this as my motto:

Of course it did not end that way!! (it never does when you go in with expectations)

There are things that I expect from adults that I don't think are asking too much. 

We all have bad days.  We all have times when we don't handle things in the best possible way. We all make mistakes. It's how you handle yourself afterwards that shows your integrity, your leadership abilities, and your willingness to be a team player. 

That being said, here are a few idea for when you screw something up:

1. Don't blame the problem on someone else. This is just going to really piss people off and quickly make you a few enemies! Luckily I work in a field that isn't considered "cut throat" on a daily basis. In fact, things run smoother when we work together as a team, so you should have no plans turn people against you.

2. Covering your butt takes a lot of time and energy. I am sure, actually I KNOW, there are better ways to spend both!

3. Admit your mistake! And do it fast. Like ripping off a bandage, get it over with. Plus if you work in an office like mine, you might win yourself the "gorilla award" for doing something ridiculously stupid! (We show how much we care about each other by making fun.....it can make the day go by faster!)

4. Fix the problem. Or at least provide some ideas of how to fix it. You jacked it up so it only makes sense that you should be a part of the solution. 

Now I'm no leadership or team building guru, but I would think that these would be common sense. I would think so........

But alas, my bubble was popped today. Tomorrow is a new day and tomorrow WILL be better. 

And there better be some respecting of the bubble people!!!
