Leadership Skills Worksheet: Keeping Promises
Leader's tip (Promise less, deliver more): Reliable: coming when you said, finishing on the set day, saying no if you can’t, writing promises down, telling early if delayed. Unreliable: agreeing to everything, forgetting what you said, not doing your part, promising then vanishing, ignoring team messages. Can’t keep a promise? Tell the person early, say sorry and offer a new plan.
