Employee Accountability 
An article in the March 11, 2010 edition of TIME magazine purported to explain “why we have entered the post-trust era.” Indeed, we seem to be in a time where people act inappropriately and then refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Who can we blame for the world economic crisis, or issues with religion, or the outcomes of our governments, or the state of the environment? More to the point, why do we spend so much time and energy looking to pin the blame on someone (usually anyone but ourselves)?

With this in mind, it’s no wonder that organizations who promote accountability are more successful and more productive.

In this one-day workshop, you will learn about what accountability is, how to promote it in your organization, and how to become more accountable to yourself and others.

This one-day course will help you how to:
- Understand what accountability is and what events in history have shaped our view of it.
- Identify the requirements for personal and corporate accountability.
- Apply the cycle of accountability and the fundamental elements required to build an accountable
  organization.
- Describe what individuals must do to become accountable.
- Build skills required for accountability, including goal setting, giving and receiving feedback, and
  delegation.
- Pinpoint ways to build ownership in our organization.
- Isolate areas for further self-improvement.

 “In the past decade, nearly every pillar institution in American society — whether it's General Motors, Congress, Wall Street, Major League Baseball, the Catholic Church or the mainstream media — has revealed itself to be corrupt, incompetent, or both. And at the root of these failures are the people who run these institutions, the bright and industrious minds who occupy the commanding heights of our meritocratic order.” Christopher Hayes

The winner takes it all..

I studied to get confidence. My best friend studied to get a degree and become a CA. It was only after the first 6 months while studying that I really understood what I was enrolled for and that I am quite fascinated by the subjects. I wanted to be a Photographer but I was advised that it is definitely not a paying occupation.

It depends what you want to be in life. And how often do we sit and think of what we really want out of life? I neglect this and know for a fact, that majority of you also do.

A fact – we work in an extremely competitive market and if we do not stay on top of our game we face trouble.

As Neil said, to be the First Choice Supplier of World Class Industrial and Construction Equipment we need each and every one of you to be the Best version of who you are and can be. The only way to be the best version of you is to stay happy, develop your skills and make sure that you are passionate about what you do every day. This is a challenge on its own. A daily one.

Elsabe, Amanda, Lucas, Shane, Jan Hendrik and all the rest contributing parties whether a reader or contributor thanks for making this challenge interesting.

I am extremely excited about the next blog event and cannot wait to hear your comments.

I leave you with a quote that Lorna Gerber (she used to work in LT Accounts Department) wrote in my diary a couple of years ago - it changed my life and I would like to share it with you.

If you keep on doing what you are doing, you will keep on getting what you’ve got!

If you plan to win (what ever big or small) you will win!

ps. watch the space tomorrow for the announcement of the Winner(s).

Ciao ciao

WOW!!!

It is Friday – the 8^th of November 2013 - the last day of this exciting doro-ella / Goscor Open Week.

Before you start reading lets celebrate with this great song!  Put the volume as loud as possible so that ALL your co-workers can enjoy and dance! (just remember to act responsible and professional J ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5EofwRzit0

It is the 312^th day of the year and we only have another 53 left of this 2013. For some it was a fantastic year and for others a horrible one! But what is important is how you faced it!

Check out this link on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_8 to see what has happened on this day since 960, events, births all listed but this week we, the Goscorians, made our own history in this company.

For the first time since 1984 we had the opportunity to discuss, read and think about interesting topics that affects all of us. We reached 1331 views!! What a great learning platform.

It reminds me of Neil Wilson’s speech during our Vision, Mission and Values launch this year. He said:

“Each and every one of us here today, and each and every Goscor employee, has a life that we live.

This life is obviously important to each of us as it is the only one we have, and the only one we will ever have. Every day, every hour, and every minute that goes by, we carve our influence into this world, making an imprint of who we are and what we stand for. This imprint has an influence on the world and the people around us – no matter how big or small this influence may be, it has an influence. In turn our world and the people around us influence who we are and what we stand for.

Look around you today at the world you are in. This is our Goscor world, and each and every one of you is part of building this world or this place we call Goscor.  Every day, every hour, and every minute that goes by we shape the Goscor world that we live in – you shape the Goscor world that you live in. This is your world and you have control of what it is going to look like.

So when we think of our Goscor Vision - to be ”The first choice supplier of world class industrial and construction equipment” – This gives us a clear picture of the world that we are all helping to build at Goscor. This is a world that you will help create every day, every hour and every minute of your working day at Goscor. And building this world and achieving this vision is certainly no easy task, in fact is HUGE challenge to us all.  To be the FIRST CHOICE SUPPLIER means we have to be the best, and not only must we be the best, but we must be seen to be the best! Why? So that we can attract the best to our world. The best customers, the best equipment manufacturers, and the best people – YOU – You must be the BEST!

So what I am asking you here today is to be the best version of who you are, to bring the best version of you to Goscor every day, and to do the best you can do – every minute, every hour and every day.

With this commitment from each and every one, we will all help achieve our vision of being The first choice supplier of world class industrial and construction equipment. Won’t it be awesome to be the best!” Neil Wilson – CEO Goscor Group of Companies.

Whatever the world and all its challenges throws us, I know that in this Goscor world we have what it takes to be the best because we will be thankful for the opportunity to learn!

WOW!!! Yesterday we reached the 1000 views mark! I never thought we would have so much interest! Facinating.

Today we are discussing Workplace Bullying. 

Have you heard about this? I thought it is only a worry at my kids' school. Surely it is not at work? What is it? Maybe it is a myth?

Is it only Top Down (boss/ employee) or can it be between employees / team members?
