Commitment is Key to Do Big Things
Doing big things requires great commitment.
Here are three reasons leaders struggle sometimes with commitments.
Making too many commitments. It's not uncommon for talented leaders to make a lot of commitments. Too many commitments, however, blur our focus and drain energy needed to do big things.
Changing commitments. Maintaining daily attention to our greatest intentions is not easy. Peak performance requires constancy of purpose and deep commitment to relationships and activities that matter most.
Failing to finish. It's easier to start something big than to finish it. Who knows how many big pursuits may have succeeded if leaders refused to quit and finished strong!
Say "Yes" to projects that matter. Finish what you start! 🏁
