How We Got Here
It all started when we began noticing trends in how people got things accomplished, which significantly impacted their growth. We engaged enterprise businesses through our consulting and implementation projects; we looked deeply into their associated processes and behaviors. We observed that high accomplishments and achievements had three things in common:
Commitment
Enthusiasm
Common Language
A Cornerstone of Achievement
Commitment
The dictionary defines commitment as an agreement or as a pledge to do something in the future. It can include such components as:
Allegiance
Attachment
Dedication
Devotion
Faith and faithfulness
Fidelity and loyalty
In our experience, commitment has shown up in all these different ways. While it may be challenging to articulate the fullness of what meaning we give, you will instantly recognize commitment. It exists in the actions taken by high achieving people, teams, and companies.
Can you see it in your company with your people? How about your competitors?
Enthusiasm
In our experiences with the current usage of the word enthusiasm and energy, we’ve noticed they have been associated with intense emotion and action. Also, they appear closely tied to the culture, core values, and belief systems created and sustained by high-accomplishment businesses.
(Wisdom Sidebar) One of the goals of Choice Awareness Management is being precise with the language we use. Whether it is in our personal or business life - see common language below.
From an etymological perspective, the word “enthusiasm” has its roots in Greek with the word “en meaning in” and “theos meaning God.” It means divinely inspired and possessed by God.
Energy flow, love of accomplishment and dedicated teamwork
The foundation of understanding each other.
Common Language
Language is the common bond that allows us to understand each other. Since English is the universal language of the United States and many countries worldwide, there is an excellent opportunity for misinterpretation, misunderstanding, and confusion.
We have noticed a significant problem inside companies because the language used is not specific, without clarity, and most often not articulated well.
