Your Word is Your Bond
Your Word is Your Bond
June 3, 2008
From: O'Leary, T. (2006). Warriors, workers, whiners, & weasels: understanding and using the four personality traits to your advantage. Katonah, NY: Xephor Press.
If your coworkers, employees, clients, suppliers, family, or others you come in contact with have valid reason to doubt your word, it negates all the other good work you do, and it puts you at a constant disadvantage from multiple respects. The basis of great long-term business and family relationships is trusting that all parties will stand by their word and do what they promise. Bottom line: always endeavor to do what you say you are going to do. Make your word your bond, and take pride in the fact that you can be trusted. Insist that those you deal with adopt the same philosophy, and make it an understood requirement to do business with you (O'Leary, 2006, p. 49).
