A Decent Standard for Performance

Posted on Monday, May 4, 2009 by Frank Roche

I never blame failure . . . but I am absolutely merciless toward lack of effort.
– F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Crack Up

Mistakes happen. But lack of follow up is deadly in an organization. The people who are willing to try and keep trying are the ones for me.

    It’s better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all.

    And it’s better still to just skip the failing and be successful all along. :-)

    I think I need therapy. Everytime I read something like this in the award-winning KnowHR.com/blog, I wonder what I did wrong that is making Frank blog about me.

    The burden of Catholicism.

    @Bill We all walk around with that Catholic guilt. I wrote that one for me. ;-)
