BRING YOUR RATE OF ERROR TO ZERO
“Reducing your rate of error or bring your error rate to zero is a gateway to excellence, more business and promotion.”
Working with so many different people, I have sometimes come across people who are ‘OKAY’ with making errors in the execution of their responsibility either on the job or in business. They will very comfortably say to their boss or their client ‘So sorry we didn’t manage to do it as planned.’ or ‘it’s done but so sorry it was not done in the agreed time period.’ The problem with this kind of ethic is that you build a reputation as one who is not excellent, efficient and effective whether as an employee or service provider and sooner or later, people will not want to work with you on future projects and assignments.
Please note that reducing your rate of error or bring your error rate to zero is a gateway to excellence, more business and promotion. People will simply prefer your brand because you deliver accurately while meeting expectations. In whatever you do, never find yourself giving excuses. Have regard for the people who have trusted you with a contract. Have regard for the person who has employed you. In doing your duties and fulfilling the terms of your contract, please zero rate your rate of error. Build a reputation of excellence, efficiency and effectiveness and you never have to worry about having business or staying employed.
