TAKE ACTION TO MAXIMIZE YOUR POTENTIAL Take ownership for the things that matter most to you. • Always check your schedule and to-do list before taking on a new request. This will help you realistically meet all of your commitments without overworking yourself and demonstrate to others that you are serious about your responsibilities. • Align yourself with those who share your sense of commitment. You will thrive when you are surrounded by others who take their responsibilities as seriously as you do. • Be an ethical watchdog for your school, organization or community by taking action to eliminate and prevent any unethical behavior you see. • Let your teacher or manager know that your natural sense of responsibility gives you an exceptional capacity to function independently. • Be selective. Because you are instinctively responsible, it might be difficult for you to refuse requests from others. Sometimes you need to remind yourself to say no. WATCH OUT FOR BLIND SPOTS • Because you find it difficult to turn down others’ requests, sometimes you overcommit. Try to manage your Responsibility talents by giving up something before you take on a new task. • Too many obligations can keep you from spending time with the most important people in your life. Remember that sometimes, no is the best answer for the health of your relationships.
