Hello everyone, Its really been a long break. We are still on the characteristics of a good leader and so for today, the characteristic we will be looking at is: Keep your promises: You know how politicians are viewed as promise-breakers? Good. You also know how people hate politicians. Well, there you have it. Break your promises and you lose respect. Point blank. You can have all the charisma, and knowledge, but if you don't deliver on what you promised to deliver, the people will not take you serious. An integral part of keeping promises is knowing what's achievable and what's not so set goals that can be achieved and put in your maximum best to achieve them. Your followers will take you serious if this happens. Source: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-aLeader
This is a very good piece especially the part that says promise what is achievable.
ReplyDeletePromise and fail is very pervasive in Ghana to the point that it is now viewed as normal. When given the choice, I think it is good to under promise and overdo to exceed expectation than to over promise and under deliver because it is equivalent to promise and fail.
Thank you for your insight on the topic.
