For Greater Success, Get Good Promises

We are all familiar with promises at work.  When our boss gives us an assignment, and we accept it, we have made a promise.  When a co-worker asks for help with a problem and we say yes, we have made a promise.  When we tell people we will meet them for lunch, we have made a promise.
