Description

Have you ever found yourself frustrated because your team isn’t meeting your expectations? The reality is, expectations only work when they are communicated clearly—not just kept in our heads.

In this episode, we build on the concept of "manuals"—the unwritten rules we expect others to follow—and explore what happens when managers take a proactive approach to setting expectations.

Discover how to move beyond wishful thinking and create real results by effectively articulating what you want more of and less of from your team.

Key takeaways include: ✔ Why expectations for employees differ from the expectations we have for peers, bosses, and friends ✔ The importance of defining, prioritizing, and communicating behaviors that drive results ✔ How to create commitment and engagement through meaningful conversations ✔ The role of reinforcement—recognizing positive behaviors and addressing missed opportunities

If you’re tired of simply hoping your team aligns with your vision, tune in to this episode and learn how to turn expectations into action—no magic wand required!
