Deep dives
Taking responsibility for delivering on promises
When turning a promise into a reality, it is important to care and pay attention to any unexpected challenges that may arise. The first step is to recalculate and assess if the promise can still be fulfilled, considering other commitments and potential solutions. If adjustments are necessary, initiating a renegotiation conversation is crucial. By taking responsibility and acknowledging any shortcomings, such as not anticipating certain obstacles, accountability is maintained. Finally, learning from the experience and identifying areas for improvement helps in making better promises moving forward.
Being conscious and courageous in keeping promises
To cultivate a reputation for being accountable, it is essential to be conscious of the promises made and their impact on others. Staying mindful of commitments, both current and past, enables proactive communication and renegotiation when needed. When facing difficult conversations, it is important to have the courage to engage in renegotiation rather than avoiding or overestimating one's capabilities. Taking responsibility for any misjudgments and examining ways to mitigate risks empowers continuous growth in promise-keeping and accountability.
