Taking Personal Responsibility at Work
Author
of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey, believes
that if we really want to improve our behavior, we must change
the way we perceive our roles. Too often, employees fail to recognize
the significance of their jobs to their organization. Some think that if
their job is done poorly, it won’t matter
because the job is so insignificant. Those who believe this should live
through a garbage handlers strike to understand that every
job has value to the organization. Consequently, any job done poorly,
incompletely, or too slowly affects the entire organization.
This program helps employees look at their own attitudes,
assumptions, and behaviors regarding their work. It explores characteristics
of familiar behavior styles found in many organizations. It helps the employee
understand why his or her attitude matters;
why behavior reflects attitude; and why attitude and behavior impact
organizational profitability, successful service, and longevity.

'The Magic of Personal Responsibility at Murray City Power' was an upbeat, thought-provoking seminar that pleasantly surprised virtually everyone. Our employees came to the training because they had to, but, by the end of the half-day session, they left the training wishing they could stay for more .... For weeks afterward, employees in every corner of our operations have continued to talk about the lessons taught and learned .... [It] was one of the best investments we have ever made."
—Gary O. Merrill, General Manager, Murray City Power, Utah

just wanted to .... let you know how much I enjoyed the class, how much I
