Commitment

I want to thank Coach Bob Starkey and Coach Greg Brown for introducing me to John Maxwell and his books. They are incredible reads for anyone in a leadership position.  The following comes from John Maxwell's "17 Essential Qualities Of A Team Player". 

• Ordinary People with commitment can make an extraordinary impact on their world. 
• Its one thing to believe in something you’re doing, and another to be totally committed to it.
• Commitment Usually is Discovered in the Midst of Adversity 
• Adversity fosters commitment, and commitment fosters hard work. 
• The harder you work the harder it is to surrender. 
• Commitment Does Not Depend on Gifts or Abilities 
• Commitment and talent are unconnected – unless you connect them.
• We don’t need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What we need to use is what we have.
• Commitment Comes as the Result of Choice, Not Conditions
• Commitment Lasts When Its Based on Values
• A commitment to something you believe in is a commitment that is easier to keep.
