Expectations
"Expectations of others are a killer"- wisdom
Expectation of self are difficult. We usually are our own worst enemy. We expect and often fail to deliver.
BUT when we start placing expectations on others we introduce so many more variable to the mix. We might think that something is important and want it so bad. BUT that expectation does not mean that it is important to others.
We have to be very clear as to what is the expectation. The harder part begins next with getting the other person to truly buy into that expectation being important to them also. Without this you are setting yourself up for failure.
Probably the best way is to have the other person restate the expectation and their buy in as important. This is key in teams when the effort can make or break the team's success.
Today's question is:
"How do you assure that the expectation you have is important to others?"
