We all try to say and do what is expected of us in life, but, not all of us actually live up to our own personal rhetoric.
To really succeed in life we have to be committed to our own personal ideals demonstrating our personal integrity. This requires a passion for success and doing what is right regardless of the circumstance we find ourselves in.
Understand this: Commitment is critical element to success.
Failure to demonstrate commitment can have negative consequences that inhibit success.
Commitment is essential to developing trust. Trust is necessary to get people to reach down deep inside and give everything they have under the most difficult circumstances.
Leadership and commitment are intertwined. They go together. Leadership and commitment help create solidarity.
Character is built around a true concern for people. It is based on fairness and consistency. Give people the benefit of doubt and always look for the best but do not enable or accept complacency or ineffectiveness.
Commitment is the key in creating an environment that encourages above average performance. Respect, belief in employees, empowerment and involvement are key factors in retaining employees. Commitment to effective leadership & respect must be demonstrated at every level in the organization.
Leadership without commitment is like a gun without a bullet. It looks impressive but it can't do anything.
Position and title may give you power but power in itself does not make you an effective leader.
