CAN do ATTITUDE

“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!
