Dependability

Dependability is important to every team’s success. Everyone on the team knows upon whom they can and can’t depend on/ Allow me to share with you my concept of dependable people:

folk whose motives are pure and not for the promotion of self interests;
folk who are responsible;
folk who exhibit sound thinking;
folk who have good judgment;
folk who have critical thinking skills;
folk who have a consistent track record of contributions.

If you can’t depend on teammates all the time then you can’t really depend on them any of the time. Consistency takes a depth of character that enables people to follow through no matter how tired, distracted or overwhelmed they are. Dependable team members punch through obstacles and walls to ensure that the interest of the team is promoted over their own self-interests.

Regardless of the “TEAM” you find yourself in, I think these principles can assist you.
