+RESPONSIBILITY

By Elena Blume

+RESPONSIBILITY

Increasing in Demand. Decreasing in Supply. +RESPONSIBILITY

In College Economics there was a silly graph which taught Supply and Demand. Never really thoroughly understanding or agreeing with the theory, being the creative that I thought I was in college, I believed imperatively that Demand could be created and thus increase Supply. Probably why I made an unspeakable grade in Economics during my University Years. Also why I never went back to class that entire semester. Architecture was my passion and major. Major meaning, my world and dreams as a young woman.

Fortunately I did substantially better in Environmental Design in the College of Architecture.

Thus said, Responsibility seems to have been on the decline over the past decade or so. Nobody likes to take Responsibility generally, particularly if Responsibility requires cost.

Today when dollars are somewhat limited, +RESPONSIBILITY is something of a free asset which can be created and also increased. Perhaps there is a deep correlation between +RESPONSIBILITY and the Supply and Demand curve which could be carried across to business. Certainly there is a value attached whether personal or in business.

How do you create +RESPONSIBILITY in your business? Do you also do that in your personal life? There is something quite valuable to be said of Integrity.

Start with honesty, capability, reliability, and trustworthiness. These are four core values not to be underestimated on any scale, chart, or graphic.
