6-I have italicized the word commitment three
times in the quote to emphasize its roots in spir-
ituality. Commitment is not a skill but the fruit
of an inner disposition, an interiority that can
never be classified as star ability for a corpora-
tion. If present it may generate wonderful results
but it cannot be fabricated or marketed as a busi-
ness skill. It exists or it doesnt exist because it
can never be manufactured. Period. Skills can be
produced but the breath (spirit) and energy to be
a committed employee with such-and-such skills
simply cannot be instrumentalized or packaged.
