“Can Do”
WINNING
Attitudes
CAN’T
|
CAN
|
We’ve never done it before
|
We have the opportunity to be first
|
It’s too complicated
|
Let’s look at it from a different angle
|
We don’t have the resources
|
Necessity is the Mother of Invention
|
It will never work
|
We’ll give it a try
|
There’s not enough time
|
We’ll reevaluate some priorities
|
We already tried it
|
We learned from the experience
|
There’s no way it’ll work
|
We can make it work
|
It’s a waste of time
|
Think of the possibilities
|
It’s a waste of money
|
THE INVESTMENT WILL BE WORTH IT
|
WE’LL CANNABALIZE OUR OWN SALES
|
We’ll do it before they do it
|
We don’t have the expertise
|
Let’s network with those who do
|
We can’t compete
|
We’ll get a jump on the competition
|
Our vendors won’t go for it
|
Let’s show them the opportunity
|
It’s good enough
|
There is always room for improvement
|
We don’t have enough money
|
Maybe there’s something we can cut
|
We’re understaffed
|
We’re a lean, mean machine
|
We don’t have enough room
|
Temporary space may be an option
|
It will never fly
|
We’ll never know until we try
|
We don’t have the equipment
|
Maybe we can sub it out
|
It’s not going to be any better
|
We’ll try it one more time
|
It can’t be done
|
It’ll be a challenge
|
No one communicates
|
Let’s open channels
|
Isn’t time to go home
|
Days go so quickly around here
|
I don’t have any idea
|
I’ll come up with some alternatives
|
Let somebody else deal with it
|
I’m ready to learn something new
|
We’re always changing direction
|
We’re in touch with our customers
|
It’s too radical a change
|
Let’s take a chance
|
It takes too long for approval
|
We’ll walk it through the system
|
Our customers won’t buy it
|
We’ll do better at educating them
|
Our company is the wrong size
|
We’re perfect for this project
|
It doesn’t fit us
|
We should look at it
|
It’s contrary to policy
|
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
|
It’s not my job
|
I’ll be glad to take the responsibility
|
I CAN’T
|
I CAN!
