What today’s workplaces have in common are tons of logical-sounding excuses why managers, executives and team members alike have failed to perform as expected. Are we all getting too carried away with psychological excuses about why we shouldn’t be called on the carpet…and held accountable for the good results we’ve failed to deliver upon? You can bet your psychology license on it!
