At ESA we believe COMMITMENT reflects a character that independently sets goals and plans for success whilst being organised and systematic in a creative process. This is supported by being resilient and hard working whilst also being reliable, faithful and willing to go the extra mile
Spend a few moments every
day, in the morning and evening, visualising your desired outcome. Imagine it as if you were already there.
Feel how good you feel, and completely immerse yourself in the smell and sounds of the environment. When you are able to focus on the end result instead of momentary temptation, you will make the right choices that support your desired outcome.
You are choosing your desired future outcome over your current reality. That’s it – you just made a choice!
Make every step count, and you will get there faster and easier. Instant gratifications shouldn’t even enter your mind. The only thing you should be focused on is your future outcome, and it should mean more to you than momentary desire for instant gratification.
Your level of desire will determine your results – period. If you only have an interest in something, it will be easier to let it go.
You’ll find that 100% commitment is actually easier than 99.9%, because you remove distractions, and the emotion around them. When you can focus solely on your goal, not your distractions, it will be easier to stay on track
Improving commitment cannot happen in just one day. It takes time to bring superior levels of commitment. Here are some of the things organisations can incorporate to bring in effective and immediate changes:
Teamwork does wonders! Schools/businesses must build a culture where working in teams should be important. Achieving targets together makes difficult tasks look easily achievable. Teamwork depends on how well people are able to interact with each other and work in tandem, and how well they can perform as a group.
Hard-working people are an asset to an organisation. Most people want to be a part of a success story of the organisation they are associated with. Therefore, it is important to communicate clearly the goals, vision, and mission clearly to the all. This way employees would know what the organisation expects of them. With clarity comes the determination to work and achieve excellence.

Every person has different things that motivate them. Incentives that are related to accounting and the results make people feel important. It is important for organisations to recognize the hard work people put in to achieve the desired result. Incentives should be assigned based on the criteria of the objectives.
Open and free communication in an organisation facilitates
an environment of trust. Open door policy is one such way of promoting free communication. On receiving this feedback, schools/ businesses need to keep an open mind to understand where they are not meeting peoples expectations and how they can improve work culture, without criticising the employees who have provided the feedback. Put this feedback to use. Once students know their suggestions or feedback are valued there will be an increase in work commitment.
Work ethics not only include how a person feels about his/her education, job or career but also, how seriously does he/she take their work responsibilities. This involves attitude, behaviour, respect for peers and staff, effective communication, and interaction at the workplace. Work ethics demonstrates who and how a person is.
Trust is an essential factor that brings exceptional results in any relationship, especially at work, school and in professional life. Trust is not a simple nameplate on the door, a welcoming sign telling people, “we provide trust here”. It encompasses a whole lot of effort from the top-level management and the organisation as a whole
to bring in and promote that culture in the organisation. Trust is earned by putting in constant efforts in actions and deeds. When organisations promote such a culture, they have earned themselves employees who will truly impact organisations in all the right ways, thus increasing work commitment.
Let people be innovative in providing ideas, strategies, ways of communication, etc. Innovators are committed people. These people are always looking for better ways to do even the most mundane tasks. Such employees should be valued by the school/business and encourage them to come up with better ideas and rewards for their achievements and innovations.
A school/organisation that helps its people grow professionally
and personally and respond to their ideas in a positive manner is bound to have people working for them for a longer period of time. An organisation can support their students/staff by providing them with learning opportunities, cross-training, and any other interactive method that support their overall development.
Target is met
A complacent team will do only what is asked of them, a committed team will do that and more in order to meet their targets and goals. A committed team understands goals and their individual role in achieving those goals. They are self-motivated and set targets higher than that is expected of them. For a committed team, goals are not just a number, date, or target; it is a vision and journey for them.

Bring 'fun' to work
Put in simple words, a committed team brings in more fun to work. Commitment brings ownership and more creativity to the tasks. A committed team thrives on new and innovative ideas and it is fun to implement such ideas time and again.
