Problem-Solving Success Tip: Keep Your Promises
« Posted: November 30, 2007, 10:23:36 AM »




Meet your commitments. Do what you promise and don’t promise what you can’t deliver. Meeting commitments strengthens relationships and builds trust. You need both to solve messy problems. If the situation changes and you have to change a commitment you made in good faith, let everyone know right away so they can make appropriate changes to their own plans. It seems obvious, but many people don’t manage to do this.

Managing your commitments successfully means you must be organized yourself, which brings us back to project management—with you being the overall project. That means you’ll need to write down all your specific projects, identify tasks, set priorities and keep track of progress and due dates. Each time you consider a new assignment, start by estimating the resources needed (mainly your time) and make sure you’ve got what you need. Don’t accept the assignment if you don’t have the resources necessary. If the new assignment is more important than some of your current projects, then get the priorities and expectations adjusted by making explicit agreements with the stakeholders in the projects getting pushed back.

Like any project, of course, you’ll need to keep updating your project plan so that it reflects accurately everything you’re working on. You’ll be able to tell more easily if you can accept a new commitment, and if anything starts slipping, you’re in a position both to recognize that it’s happening and also to do something about it.
