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.

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.
