Niki Taylor Makes Firing Easy for Trump, Owns Team Loss on 'Celebrity Apprentice' (VIDEO)
'Celebrity Apprentice' (Sun., 9PM ET on NBC) featured a project manager face-off between Gary Busey and Niki Taylor. It was absolutely as crazy as expected, but the results may have been a bit of a surprise to some.Busey brought the crazy that everyone was looking for, but he brought more than just that. The men took it this week, leaving Taylor and the girls to face Donald Trump in the Boardroom. But then, something revealing happened.
Niki Taylor took full responsibility for the women's loss in the week's project. Trump told her he had tremendous respect for her willingness to not lay blame at the feet of any of her teammates, even if some of it might have been deserved. He seemed surprised and pleased to see her honesty, but the following few moments revealed why you don't see this in the business world.
"Niki, you're fantastic, but other than that, you're fired," Trump told her. In other words, taking ownership of failures gets you fired.
The moral of that story for the real world is to keep trying to pass the buck of any of your failures on those around you to protect yourself. The business world is a cold-hearted and ruthless place, and there's no place for Taylor's brand of honesty and ownership in it.
