Commitment Need of the Hour

Commitment Need of the Hour

Performance is what pays the bills. Not faithfulness. Not spirits. What is desirable is high job commitment. Promise works a lot harder than loyalty, and gets more done than morale does. Commitment energize. It empowers. It inspires creativity and pulls a persons true impending into play. That is crucial because the organization cannot get by anymore with mediocre performers. Commitment is self-nourishing it draws power from the spirit, it feeds the soul. Commitment gives meaning to work, and deepens ones sense of self-worth.

 Be Passionate In Your Commitment

People always look at the leader when they want to take the pulse of an organization. Example says a lot. Commitment climbs when people see passion in the person in charge. They catch the feeling since commitment, after all, is a highly contagious thing. The more consuming your commitment, the more you draw your people toward you and toward the task to be done. Your intensity, your focus, drive, and dedication carries maximum influence over the level of commitment you can expect from others. Like it or not, you set the climate. People always take a reading on the person in charge. So when it comes to building commitment, you must lead by example.

 Provide a Strong Sense of Purpose

 People do not care about working for a company; they want to work for a movement. Provide employees with a grand purpose, a mission with a larger meaning, a cause that transcends the dullness of their everyday duties. Give them a dream they can identify with and watch commitment climb. Build your cause around a concept, an idea or principle that can inspire people to go beyond their present limits. It is worth noting that Martin Luther King did not say I have a strategic plan. He shouted I have a dream! And he created a crusade. Never under estimate the power of purpose.
