Keys to Getting a Job Done.

Kekich Credo #57 - You can get any job done through the sheer force of will when combined with uncompromising integrity and competence. Strong leadership is the key.

This credo statement says you can do it!. The keys to getting a job done are strong leadership, uncompromising integrity and competence.  

A strong leader promotes a compelling vision.  He/she treats others the way they want to be treated.  A highly effective leader admits their mistakes and they know how to delegate. They also make themselves part of the action.  Strong leadership involves great communication and making others feel important.

Integrity means being honest with everyone.  A person with integrity behaves ethically and does the right thing even when no one is watching. Having integrity means your words, actions and beliefs are all aligned with how you live. Uncompromising integrity means your word is your bond. Leaders with integrity gain trust among their colleagues.  They stand up for what they believe in and aren’t afraid of the truth.  You are more likely to be considered for promotions and leadership positions, when you live with integrity.

Competence means you have the ability to do something well. Competence can include the knowledge and skills needed to perform a task or job effectively. A competent person is someone who has sufficient training and experience or knowledge that enables them to complete a task well.  The level of competence needed depends on the complexity of the situation and the particular job that needs to be done.

There is a difference between confidence and competence.  While competence is how good you are at something, confidence is how good you think you are at something. Confidence is both external and internal. Your belief in your abilities to do a job well is internal confidence.  How you appear to others creates an external estimation of confidence.  

To be considered competent, an individual needs to be able to understand the importance of the information they are given and to be able to make sound decisions among the choices provided as well as understand the potential impact of their decisions.

So in order to get a job done, be sure to gain the competence you need by improving your skills and knowledge about the task at hand or look for competent people to help you.  Apply uncompromising integrity and strong leadership and you will get the job done!
