Nothing is more important for a leader than keeping promises and commitments. It’s just not that hard to deliver on your promises, and if you have no intention of doing so, don’t make the commitment to begin with. A leader who fails to understand this will never create the trust bond necessary to lead effectively.

Here’s the thing…you really don’t need to work too hard to identify leaders within an organization – they are the ones taking on the greatest levels of responsibility and delivering on their commitments. They are the ones innovating and breaking-down barriers. They are the ones people turn to when things get tough.

Commitment - While technology is a natural accelerant helping to catalyze new opportunities and extend relationships, creating trust and influence will still take time. Don’t breach trust - you work far too hard to create a trust bond with your followers, so don’t blow it by not following through on your commitments.
