Will You Add? - The Need for Commitment
In 1987 I sold my business, South Mountain Company, to my employees (and myself). My sole proprietorship became an employee-owned cooperative corporation. It was a hinge point in the history of the company. Ownership has become available to all employees, enabling people to own and guide their workplace. The responsibility, the power, and the profits all belong to the group of owners.Shared ownership and control is our method at South Mountain. “Every employee, an owner” is our intention. More than half of our thirty e
Delegate Power to Every Person
Give each employee full control and authority over some sector of work. Share the power. Delegate authority and let everyone be in charge of something. Position your people, as individuals, to wield a measure of influence over ideas and events. When people feel unable to shape circumstances and when they feel that everything is beyond their control, they learn to act helpless. Anytime people feel disempowered, commitment gets diluted.

Performance is what pays the bills. Not loyalty. Not morale. What is needed is high job commitment. Commitment works a lot harder than loyalty, and gets more done than morale does. Commitment energizes. It empowers. It inspires creativity and pulls a persons true potential into play. That is crucial because the organization cannot get by anymore with mediocre performers. Commitment is self-nourishing it draws power from the spirit, it feeds the soul. Commitment gives meaning to work, and deepens one’s sense of self-worth.
Be Passionate In Your Commitment
People always look at the leader when they want to take the pulse of an organization. Example says a lot. Commitment climbs when people see passion in the person in charge. They catch the feeling since commitment, after all, is a highly contagious thing. The more consuming your commitment, the more you draw your people toward you and toward the task to be done. Your intensity, your focus, drive, and dedication carries maximum influence over the level of commitment you can expect from others.
Like it or not, you set the climate. People always take a reading on the person in charge. So when it comes to building commitment, you must lead by example.
Provide a Strong Sense of Purpose
People do not care about working for a company; they want to work for a movement. Provide employees with a grand purpose, a mission with a larger meaning, a cause that transcends the dullness of their everyday duties. Give them a dream they can identify with and watch commitment climb. Build your cause around a concept, an idea or principle that can inspire people to go beyond their present limits.
It is worth noting that Martin Luther King did not say I have a strategic plan. He shouted I have a dream! And he created a crusade. Never under estimate the power of purpose.

It seems to me that everywhere we shop these days, or any service we require involves long waiting times. Stores used to hire enough clerks, cashiers, and service people to meet the needs of their customers. As a business person who understands how to calculate percentage ratios, this makes no sense to me.Mostly in business we set up our labor and many other business expenses based on sales figures. So if we consider larger stores doing revenues of $30,000-$50,000/day, and their average cost of labor is only ten percen

If the most important part of any business-to-business direct mail package is the list, how can you be sure that you have a good list before you drop your money (and your reputation) in the mailbox? Answer: Ask the right questions before you rent that list. 1. Who is on the list, exactly? Let’s say your potential list is high-tech prospects.

It used to be every generation or two that a great idea would come that would change every body's lives. Today we seem to be getting one or two every year. Why is this so? Due to globalization, decreasing margins in every business and a rush to be the most efficient, entrepreneurs are inventing new products that can effect every one's lives.Technology changes whole industries.

Help your employees believe in their ability to affect their circumstances. Give them opportunities to shape their future. Look for chances to let them have a say in matters of personal concern, especially within their own sphere of influence. When the power drains out of your people, there is no strength left in the organization. Commitment dies for lack of energy.
Make Your People Feel Needed
Think how hard it would be to remain committed if your commitment was not needed. What if you did not feel like you mattered? If your efforts seemed insignificant, or if your work was not looked at as being worth much, why would you want to try?
Commitment cannot take root unless your employees feel like they count for something. If they come to believe it is no big deal whether they do a sloppy job or first class work, they get the idea that nobody really cares, the drive to deliver excellent results dies a slow death.
It is important to make every person fell like he or she really matters. See that each one gets to go home at night feeling useful ... relevant ...significant. Need your people as individuals. Let it show. Ask for their help. Lean on them.
