Simple communication so often neglected
To let people you work with, play with, know…I’ll be there. Here is what I can do. Here is what I cannot do.
Here is what I promise.
Here is how I work best. I am not so good at this. I need help with that.
It’s called managing expectations.
Because most everyone has an expectation of us.
Have we asked them what it is?
If we have not, then it is a crap shoot as to whether we can meet their expectations or not.
To lead is to ask..to know…to not assume…what the expectation is.
And to then be sure we have a conversation about how we are able to meet that…or how we might need to renegotiate.
It begins with thinking about the experience of the other.
Simple communication, so often neglected.
