A Reliable Person is One Who Delivers on Their Commitments

A person is either reliable or not, it's really about these three points: 'Everything has a conclusion, every event has an echo, every matter has a return.'

Didn't finish it?

I asked Xiao Wang to send a material to the department head one day.

An hour passed, and two hours passed without a reply until noon when I saw him in the hallway.

When I asked him if the material had been delivered, he said it had, and when I asked how he delivered it, he said the person he was supposed to find wasn't there, so he transferred it through the office.

Hearing this, I immediately thought of three words: 'Unreliable.' After that, I wouldn't easily entrust him with important tasks.

Isn't it just a small matter that not replying is 'unreliable'?

I thought of when I was young, when others asked me to do similar small things, I generally didn't reply. I thought it was enough to just do it, and I also didn't need to reply. And no one criticized me for not replying.

Many years later, it was later when I entrusted others with tasks that I had this strong feeling. It was largely due to the fact that I didn't proactively reply.

Progressive phases should also be reported in a timely manner.

So-called completion replies mean responding promptly when the task is completed.

We often have emergency tasks, such as a cadre being temporarily appointed to a destination, has he arrived? What's the situation? Like a cow entering the sea, once gone, no trace, it wasn't until he was about to return to Beijing that he remembered to reply. He thought he didn't need to reply in time, but we were very much hoping to receive his news.

If I questioned him, it would actually be a matter of tact. It's hard to grasp this proportion.

In the workplace, you often cannot wait for the task to be completed before replying; progressive phases should also be reported in a timely manner.

On the one hand, to make leaders and colleagues feel at ease; on the other hand, timely feedback provides a basis for correct decision-making.

Some say that the response depends on the leader's good or bad intentions, some leaders don't like replying.

When I asked how it went, I learned that the leader asked him to find another department's leader, he replied that the person he was looking for wasn't there, and the leader scolded him 'Don't reply, find it later.' He couldn't find the person, is that a reply?

There are also people who say that if a task is not completed, it may be because his ability is very strong, just doesn't care about small things.

But small things are unreliable, how can big things be entrusted?

Which would you choose – a reliable person or a person with ability?

Ability for big things, character for small thingsAbility for big things, character for small things.The people who make you feel confident are the ones who, when it comes to important things, you will always think of them.

Because you can be sure, the tasks you entrust will be kept in mind, and you will do your best, and you will reply in a timely manner, and you will not be anxiously waiting.

You will treat such colleagues and friends with courtesy and treat their entrusted tasks with the same importance.

Not replying at the end is like the task is 99% completed, only the remaining 1% is not fulfilled, but the task is still not completed to the standard.

Some ask, different leaders have different requirements, how to grasp this scale? I think this has nothing to do with the leader, but relates to the responsibilities within the scope of the duty.When a task is completed, it should be replied promptly, according to the importance and urgency of the matter.

Now that communication methods are so developed that it's often the case that replies are delayed indefinitely. But in work, as long as it's related to your job responsibilities, you should reply promptly.

Imagine that you sent a message to a colleague, and if the colleague didn't reply, you would feel… Similarly, if he doesn't reply to you, it's not that he doesn't want to, or that he's unwilling. It's not a matter of no choice.

Whether it's anyone, unless you have a reason, you should give a response, this is a question of respecting yourself and respecting others.

Completion replies mean responding promptly when the task is completed. Sending items or materials is just a superficial matter, the root is a matter of professional character, which is related to commitment and integrity.

Do you know the story of 'Sending the Letter to Garcia'?

In the American-Mexican War of the 19th century, a letter was urgently delivered to General Garcia of the Cuban army. But Garcia was in the jungle fighting, and no one knew where he was.

Captain Lowe of the US Army stepped forward without any conditions, he endured great hardship and walked three weeks, arriving in a country full of dangers, and delivered the letter to Garcia.

Did Lowe send a letter? Not just a letter. He also sent a soldier's loyalty and credibility, which shone a human light, embodying Lowe's self-sacrifice and willingness to take responsibility.

This is the charm of the story that is widely spread all over the world.

Whether it's reliable depends on these three pointsA person is either reliable or not, it's really about these three points:Everything has a conclusion, every event has an echo, every matter has a return.
