Commitment
Commitment
Commitment is defined as the act of
binding yourself to a course of action.
Commitment, a word that is so simple yet
so difficult.
Commitment is at root a personal
decision, whether at work or at home.
It rests on three main ideas: giving the
best of one-self, going the extra mile, and
not abandoning the situation you find
yourself in.
Commitment means showing up and doing
what it takes for however long it takes to
achieve
whatever
you
made
a
commitment to.
In the larger sense, commitment is one of
the bases of integrity. A person who is
able to make and keep commitments has
learned how to earn trust and respect
from
those
around
them,
including
themselves.
In a career sense, a person who is
committed to advancing their position or
career is much more likely to navigate a
search successfully than one who is
halfhearted or unfocused. 
Commitment is doing what you say you
are going to do, and when you say you are
going to do it.
One of the qualities of trust- an essential
element to building and maintaining
productive relationships - is dependability.
Commitment is the little engine of
dependability: without it nothing happens. 
“The quality of a person's life is in direct
proportion
to
their
commitment to
excellence, regardless of their chosen field
of endeavor”
Vince Lombardi
Commitment Is Nurtured

Commitment is not won or created
overnight. It takes time to nurture it, yet
it is very easy to lose.
Why?
Commitment is based on trust, and trust
is like a glass. Once it is broken, it is
very difficult to put it back together
again without the cracks showing.
Importance Of Commitment
Today, talent management is the key
imperative,
making
employee
commitment more important than ever.
Commitment takes many forms however
and it is essential that organizational
strategies retain the right people for the
right reasons.
Commitment is the most important factor
after a person’s culture. It builds a
person’s motivation and confidence to
engage in the new behaviors required by
change.
People do not follow uncommitted leaders.
Commitment can be displayed in a full range
of matters to include the work hours you
choose to maintain, how you work to improve
your abilities, or what you do for your fellow
workers at personal sacrifice.

Stephen Gregg
3 Types Of Commitment
Below Figure indicates that total commitment
combines three distinct kinds of commitment
3 Types Of Commitment
People are Committed to a CAUSE
They give their life meaning by working to further
something in which they believe strongly.
Causes may be based on religious principles,
ethical standards, or environmental issues.
Humans are the only animals in the animal
kingdom that may voluntarily sacrifice their own
lives for a set of values, such as national
freedom.
People gain a sense of virtue from pursuing noble
ends.
3 Types Of Commitment
People are Committed to a
CHALLENGE
They give their life meaning by investing their energy
in a chosen hobby.
Challenges may be physical like climbing a mountain,
athletic like tennis, intellectual like chess or bridge,
artistic like painting or music, and so forth.
Humans voluntarily spend their time in selfdevelopment to improve their competence in their
chosen field of endeavor.
People gain a sense of achievement from their
progress.
3 Types Of Commitment
People are Committed to a OTHER
PEOPLE
They give their life meaning by being an important person
to special 'others'. They act in a reliable, dependable way
to friends, spouse, family, team, and neighbors.
People gain a sense of belonging from their identification
with significant others.
Unless Commitment is
Made, there are Only
Promises and Hopes; But
No Plans.

Peter F. Drucker
How To Get It?
Commitment requires balancing two behaviors—
supporting and improving.

Supporting





Focus on what is important
Lead by example
Reward success
Manage disrespect

Improving
 Look for a better way
 Learn from others


Challenge current expectations

 Risk making changes
How To Get It?
Commitment requires balancing two behaviors—
supporting and improving.

Supporting
The first action is called supporting. Genuine support develops a
commitment in the minds and hearts of others. This is
accomplished by focusing on what is important and leading by
example.
It is not uncommon for people to be either confused as to what
is important, or lose sight of it over time. Supporting means
concentrating on what adds value, spotlighting what is working,
and rewarding others who are focusing on what is important and
leading by example.
A crucial aspect of true support is standing up to those who
would undermine commitment, those whose words or actions
show disrespect.
How To Get It?
Commitment requires balancing two behaviors—
supporting and improving.

Improving
The second action underlying commitment is called improving.
Improving stretches our commitment to an even higher level.
Commitment means a willingness to look for a better way and
learn from the process. It focuses on eliminating complacency,
confronting what is not working, and providing incentives for
improvement.
The spirit of improving is rooted in challenging current
expectation and ultimately taking the risk to make changes.
These changes are based more on optimism in the future than
dissatisfaction in the past.
How To Get It?

The combination of supporting behavior
and improving behavior are the
ingredients of true commitment; if these
two issues are separated neither will
sustain your overall commitment.
Commitment is a personal thing that
each of us must face everyday.
Being committed and staying
committed is a mindset that each of us
must address in our lives if we want to
become a success.
Personal Commitment
Commitment refers to a promise or
assurance. It is one of the most
important personal qualities that any
employer in the industry would
expect.
One must have the inclination to
fulfill one’s professional commitment
at all costs.
Often, adherence to commitment may
cost you your time, effort or other
resources. But the greatest personal
satisfaction is derived from delivering
results and keeping up your
commitment.
Organizational Commitment
Organizational Commitment is highly
valuable.
Studies have highlighted that
commitment has a great impact on
the successful performance of an
organization.
This is because a highly committed
employee will identify with the goals
and values of the organization, has a
stronger desire to belong to the
organization and is willing to display
greater organizational citizenship
behavior i.e., a willingness to go over
and beyond their required job duties.
Team Commitment
Commitment is critically important
to team success. Of course there
are other factors for success but
commitment is one that often is
overlooked.
More specifically, teams need three
forms of commitment to be most
successful:
 Commitment to each other and each other's success
 Commitment to their team and the team's success
 Commitment to the organization & organizational goals
Commitment
I am only one, but I am one
No one can do all
But all can do some
I can’t do everything
But I can do something
I know I can only do little
But I will do what I can
Syed Imtiaz Hussain
So the next time you want to do something different in
your life, take the plunge! Be bold, make a commitment,
take action and keep doing something everyday to move
your dream forward into reality.
