Commitment is a core value that is endearing and enduring to others. It reflects other values like trust, honesty and integrity. To do as you say you would, is a demonstration of commitment. It is also an expression of one’s goals and ideals.

Commitment is often to a person, cause or a discipline. We can be committed to all our relationships, beliefs, values, hobbies, and art. To commit is to stay true to a cause, even if there may be no direct, reciprocal return on our mental and emotional investment.

Here are ways that we can demonstrate commitment in our daily lives:

1) Go green. Reduce, re-use, re-cycle, and review your practices constantly.

2) Go car-free. Take public transport at least once a week. Or commit yourself to cycling or walking to work.

3) Be vegetarian once a week.

4) Serve others. Serve everyone. Hard Rock Café’s mantra is ‘Love all. Serve all.’

5) Commit to our promises and offerings to our customers. Avoid ‘buyer’s remorse’ at all cost – it is costly.

6) Deliver on our ‘follow up’ and ‘follow through’. Send a summary of your meeting, and follow up further with the ‘actionable items’ within the prescribed time.

7) Demonstrate our beliefs and values through our actions and behaviors.

8) Live your company’s core values, and demonstrate them in simple ways. Core values are the heart of your business. Learn from Starbuck’s Howard Schulz, and ‘Pour your heart into every cup.’

9) Work with your staff. Work for your staff. Commit to staff, and they will stay committed to our company’s cause.

10) Remove disappointments and inconsistencies from your business, and you can mine commitment from those around you.
