Everybody blaming Somebody for state woes
Following is a handout I received along time ago when I was a regional sales manager in the food industry. Maybe our budget stalemate could end if people would think about the message.
Teamwork: Whose Job Is It? This story is about four people: Somebody, Everybody, Anybody and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
