The reason that we make a promise for the things we do and make it public is to hold ourselves accountable. Put us on the hook.
Here is what we said we are going to do. And here is how our heart, thoughts, and actions align with that promise.
When an organization, business, or community is not willing to make a promise, it’s challenging to hold anyone accountable.
Trust has no ground to seed and grow.
“Am I willing to be held accountable?” is the question we ask ourselves before we make a promise and expect the others trust us.
