As a Leader, your word is only as good as your last promise kept….

As a leader, your word is only as good as your last promise kept …. or broken

This thought has been relevant in the past, but more so in today’s scenario. It does not matter whom you lead, whether you are a parent, teacher, manager, CXO, CEO, politician so on & forth….. this is applicable.

In the employee focused environment of today, where the knowledge perception is extremely high & you hobnob with extremely bright youngsters who know exactly what they want in life, it is extremely important to have a clear communication line constantly open, sharing thoughts, worries with them openly. They are no longer willing to accept just because the leader has said so!

And it is here, it becomes imperative to think your promise before you give it & more importantly once given, follow it thru to ensure it does not break.

Over the years, this principle has brought & caused me grief, though to be honest I have not been able to keep to it every time.
