Why Commitment Still Matters: The Difference Between Commitment and Compliance in Today’s Workplace

Commitment is still a competitive advantage — and in today’s workplace, “just doing the job” is no longer enough.

In this episode of The Power of Influence: Leadership in Action, host Paulette J. Sterling explores why commitment remains one of the strongest predictors of performance, trust, and long‑term success in organizations.

We break down the critical difference between commitment and compliance, and why leaders who understand this distinction are better equipped to build resilient, engaged, high‑performing teams.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ Why commitment is more than showing up — it’s showing up with purpose
✨ How commitment drives performance, innovation, and trust
✨ Why compliance leads to burnout, disengagement, and quiet quitting
✨ What the changing world of work demands from leaders today

• Identify the signs of true commitment
• Understand what erodes commitment
