Several years ago, a wise mentor observed me taking sole responsibility for something our team was working on.  He took me aside after the meeting and said “be responsible, but don’t be more responsible.” I said, “Huh? Say what?” He was patient and shared “You have a responsibility to the University, and to the team – but you are trying to do your part, and then do everyone’s part for them too. It’s fine to be responsible (for your part) but you kill the team when you take over for everyone else.” So resolution number 5 for the New Year is to engage fully to accomplish the responsibilities that my various teams need me to do while providing room for others to do their part also.
