Lesson 1) Getting Commitment

Since our power comes from our relationships with others and our shared resources together, we are weakened if we are not constantly inviting others to join us in meaningful, purposeful work. Getting into action requires that leaders engage others to make explicit commitments to us and to achieve specific, measurable outcomes. We are often afraid to ask to much of others and if we do, we are afraid that they won't show up. This lesson introduces the 4 C's of commitment as a way to engage others as we ask for their valuable resources to help our cause.
