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!
