Are you committed.....

Are you looking to step up your performance in 2012? It is important to think carefully before you commit to increasing your performance. Are you capable of listening as much as you speak? Are you making empty promises or over committing? This is a major pitfall for many people. Do you tend to say what others want to hear? You cannot make promises you can't deliver and then provide excuses for your performance. We diminish our influence when we try to reverse or cover a mistake with excuses. If you are truly committed to a better performance in 2012 take a few minutes and honestly evaluate yourself. It is the first step in taking yourself to the next level.
