I received these sage words of wisdom early in my business career. I believe in them so much that I’ve kept the tradition going by passing them on to each new employee under our employ and to my business colleagues as well as to good friends and family. While the message within is blatantly obvious, it’s often the simplest of things that if missed, tip the apple cart.
Whose Job Is It … A Valuable Lesson
This is a little story about four unique people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and EVERYBODY was certain that SOMEBODY would do it. ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it. As a result, SOMEBODY got frustrated because in their opinion it was EVERYBODY’s job. As too often happens, EVERYBODY thought that ANYBODY would do it. All the while NOBODY realized that EVERYBODY assumed that SOMEBODY would do it.
The result being, EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY because NOBODY did what ANYBODY could have and should have done.
