Personal Commitment Dynamic

There is a cliché stating, “Behind every good man, there is a great woman.” Without a doubt this is true. Also, behind every successful leader there is a leadership concept. Behind every concept there is a system to make it work.

Dictionary.com defines system as: an ordered and comprehensive assemblage of facts, principles, doctrines, or the like in a particular field of knowledge or thought.
Concept is defined by dictionary.com as: an idea of something formed by mentally combining all its characteristics or particulars.

My concept is Valid Leadership, which makes its debut in a few weeks. My system is Personal Commitment Dynamic, or PCD for short. PCD is comprised of preparation, communication and demonstration.

Art Williams, founder of A.L.Williams once said, “You will beat 50% of your competition just by showing up.” I believe you can do better than 50% if you show up well prepared. We covered preparation on this blog a few months ago and the subject is worth re-visiting!

Being prepared in its simplest form means having a routine to follow each day. My experience leads me to believe many people do not take this seriously. They roll out of bed at the last minute and scramble getting ready for their day. The rest of the day is chaotic and they wonder why. With a solid routine and the commitment to follow it everyday, these same people will find themselves in control of their day and their life.

Great examples of what a routine looks like can be seen at any sporting event. In particular, golf and baseball. A professional golfer performs a routine before he actually hits the ball. A baseball pitcher follows a set routine before he actually pitches the ball. This is how they maintain consistency and it works for us as well.

We’ll break down the Preparation portion of PCD throughout the week. Stay tuned and get involved in the discussion.
