business success is built on a dedicated team with a shared vision giving their all for the realization of that vision and the development of the next one.
commitment is
- at first a resolve arrived at in the mind,
- secondly a decision made to practice personal integrity and
- thirdly consistent behaviors that form habits, which in turn construct the foundation of your reputation among your colleagues.
when you commit to commitment, you stamp your passport to partnership with the major behavioral trait that existing partners in the firm notice.
showing your true colors
what kind of loyalty does the firm place a high value on? (for example, working extra hours without being asked, informing them on competitor activity, making them aware of job offers you’ve received and rejected?)
based on what the partners place a high value on, what commitment can you actively demonstrate to the firm on an ongoing basis?
write down your shortlist of people in your team/department in whom you feel that you can instill this same sense of commitment and how you are going to go about it.
