"I try my best..."

Going over some slides with a direct report.  She does an exceptional job.  Takes her work seriously... sets a high standard for herself... expects a lot from herself.  She's representing the organization, representing herself, representing her upbringing.  To me... she says, "I try my best." So natural.  What's mind-boggling is... some people's B level effort (to themselves) is already an A+ to the world.

So then...why can some people can strive for, aim for, put in enough effort to just meet the bare minimum? It's just inconceivable in my world.  Maybe I'm the one that's Not of this World.  Wait....

Mood: flummoxed
