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.
