Being dependable is one of the most important personality traits you can possess and also one of the most overlooked attributes. This is especially true when assessing someone you wish to befriend or work with as it is very difficult to evaluate until you spend time with that person. Do you do what you say you are going to do and when you promised to do it? Are you punctual? Are you accountable for when you miss a deadline or don’t do something you told a friend you’d do for them? Does your boss give you the important/critical tasks to you or does he or she give to someone else who the boss can really count on to get it done correctly and on time? If you want to really develop close relationships with people or succeed in your career, you will soon see how critical it is that you are indeed dependable. This podcast defines dependability, outlines the importance of this trait and shows how important it is to prove that you will do what you have said you will do; promptly and correctly.
