Lessons for Leaders: Commitment

Back to Blog
Christian Leadership Alliance

By Wayne Pederson

In a speaking engagement I was talking about building relationships: in marriage, in friendships, in work, in ministry.  Really, all good relationships are built on a PLEDGE:

P: Prioritize the relationship.  Give the other person top priority at the moment

L: Listen and learn. Listen more than you talk.

E: Engage. Put aside distractions and fully engage.

D: Demonstrate. Do things, say things that build connection and trust.

G: Give generously. Be generous with time, gifts, resources, even lunch!

E: Enjoy.  Have fun together.  Do fun things that build connection.

Jonathan and David committed to a strong bond of love and friendship with a verbal pledge to each other.  Strong relationships at any level require commitment and a pledge.
