Good Morning..........Promise and Performance

Good Morning..........

 

"Say – Do" …

Commitment – Execution

 

We promise according to our hopes, and perform according to our fears. 

    ~Francois duc de la Rochefoucauld

 

In everything we are asked to do, need to do, have to do or want to do, we have to make a commitment to do it . This is known as the "Say". The act of actually following through on that commitment is simply known as the "Do". Each and every day, we make commitments and we make focused efforts to deliver on such commitments. I would expect that each of us strive to "Do" 100% on our "Say" commitments – of course, that is "Say vs. Do" = 100% or in other words:  What's your "Say/Do Ratio"? 

 

Considering the many challenges we face these days, some things are within our control and some things are out of our control. For those things within our control, we prepare ourselves to ensure that we "Do" what we "Say". For those things out of our control, we must develop risk mitigation plans and work around plans to overcome those things to ensure we deliver on our commitments.
