What sustains long-term success?

Many would point to goals, discipline, or even commitment. In this week's Momentum blog, Craig Clark explores a different perspective: the power of promises.

Drawing from the story of his proposal to Marlene 40 years ago, Craig reflects on how purpose-driven commitments can shape not only a marriage, but also leadership, business, parenting, and personal growth.

One insight stands out:

It’s about creating an environment where people feel free to speak up, try new ideas, and even fail — without fear. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to ensure our teams feel safe, because only then can performance, innovation, and engagement thrive.

Marcus Cicero wrote over 2,000 years ago, ‘The safety of the people shall be the highest law.’
Today, that law applies to every leader, everywhere.

How do you ensure your team feels safe at work?
