Wisdom on 'commitment' from Kurt Johnston

Found this in my Leadership folder in my Evernote stuff and wanted to pass these thoughts along in case you haven't seen them.  It's from Kurt Johnston, who by the way is A LOT shorter in person than you may think from the Simply Jr. High Podcast he does, but great thoughts none the less. Sorry Kurt, had to let the world know. (and by 'the world' i mean the people who read this blog. ha) He said:

“We have a silly little saying that we use a lot: ‘Be committed to what you have committed to’. Instead of pressuring our leaders to over-commit, we ask them to prayerfully consider where they want to plug in and to do their best to stay faithful to that area. Our commitment to them is that we won’t constantly press them for more.”  How do you feel about your volunteers’ level of commitment?  How might the way you “press them for more” affect their ability to live up to what they’ve already committed to?
