A challenge in too many organizations is that teams and leaders often seek agreement instead of commitment.
You probably know what I'm talking about.
Agreement happens when people sit in meetings, nod their heads, and then afterwards either fail to take action or deliver on time.
Commitment, on the other hand, occurs when people take responsibility and then follow through to completion.
Agreement results in head nods. Commitment results in action.
Is your team stuck in seeking agreement instead of commitment?

I just got back from an amazing trip to Cape Cod visiting my parents, brothers, nephews, and nieces. What a great reunion with all of the fun, chaos, and laughs that you would expect from a big family. Frankly, I reluctantly came home, feeling a strong sense of sadness living so far away from my family. But, as a result of the trip, I am now committed to getting home more than two or three times a year.
