Commitment is placing the highest priority to another. When people marry, they commit; they promise to put their partners above everything else.
Enterprises try to enrol employees to do the same. Managers expect subordinates to place first-priority to their jobs.
I don’t commit to employers; I dedicate. Dedication is compliance to mutually agreed contracts. Focus is meeting terms & conditions and getting results.
When corporate executives demand commitment from would-be sales reps, the answer should be No. Employment is not a marriage. The most anyone should do is dedicate, which is: work hard, add value, and receive compensation.
It does not go as far as selling one’s soul.
