Jeff Banning Insight - Taken from Years of Reading and Leading

If you make a promise, keep it. If you say you are going to do something, do it. It is better not to make a promise or say you are going to do something. If you make a decision that affects others, all you need to say is simply yes or no. Anything beyond that can create issues. As a leader, we are to be sure of what we believe.
