Dependability: Reliable and worthy of trust

Dependable people are characterized by stability and reliability.  They are trustworthy, committed, and consistent.

Being trustworthy and consistent + honoring commitments = dependability

Dependability requires:

  • Good habits – dependable people have productive habits and consistently make sound decisions.
  • Keeping promises – Dependable people learn to avoid making promises or agreements they cannot keep.
  • Punctuality – Studies show that 1 in 5 people are habitually late; however, punctuality is one of the essential traits of a dependable person.

The greatest ability is dependability.”  – Bob Jones
