Matthew 5:7
Jesus said to let your yes be yes and your no be no. So when I say yes to meeting with a group of my colleagues at a certain time and place, I do everything in my power to keep my word. Promptness is about character, and leaders are not beyond the rules that govern things like courtesy and character. When a leader says ... “I’ll be at the restaurant at noon to meet with the four of you,” all four of those people want to know whether that leader will in fact keep his word. If the leader strolls in fifteen minutes late, the team members ... feel devalued ... When I’ve had to issue an apology [for being late] my whole team relaxes in response. They are reminded that I really do value their time, I really do view them as equals, and I really do want my yes to be yes.
