Who’s really to blame when your employees fail to perform?
Human beings are funny. When placed in a position where they are expected to perform in a certain way – like an office – most people will do exactly what is expected and not much more. If expectations are low, they tend to do less. But when expectations are high, those same people will to rise to the occasion. Applied to today’s managers, we see this effect play out time and again in organizations large and small: A manager who expects little of his or her employees also clearly thinks little of them. As a result, employees give little in return. On the other hand, managers who expect a lot of their employees tend to treat their employees better and, in return, get better performance.

The Opinion that Counts
We always live up to the expectations that we have for our lives. Sometimes, these expectations are those we have of ourselves, but too often these are expectations that we allow other people to place upon us. If we're not careful, we can find ourselves winning someone else's battle while we lose our own war. For years, societal pressure and the media have encouraged us to keep up with the Joneses. Unless your last name is Jones, there is no practical or logical reason you should set your standards based on theirs.
