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.

Being unattached to the outcome
When you're so caught up in some upset, anger, irritation, or negative pattern of engagement with someone else it can be a hard lesson, but a useful one, to learn to understand the power of recognising when you are emotionally attached to your pattern. It is like we so want something that it obsesses us and thus we in effect push it away. What we need to do is see that we are attached to it and let it go. It is a paradox but frequently a very powerful way of realising what we truly need that is best for us.
3 Surprising Mathematical Principles That Every Persuasive Marketer Must Know
Having a perception is different from understanding a perception. Imagine you are standing in front of a box of sand. If you start pouring water into that sand, it will form a particular pattern and start flowing along those particular lines. Even if you pour in more water, it will essentially continue to flow along only in that pattern. In the same way, the brain is a self-organizing system. When information goes in, it flows only in a particular pattern. When you face the kind of problem that you cannot even begin to explain how to explain it, it means that it is not a problem of logic. It is a problem of perception. You have to go back and look into your perceptions, not logic, because, as Gödel’s theorem has shown us, logic has flaws.

Persecutors, Bullies, and Billionaires
A pattern is a behavior that repeats and repeats in many different situations. It is one of the biggest traps in both personal and professional life. The persecutor pattern is one where a seemingly strong individual points fingers of blame and will do what ever it takes to get his/her way and make others feel insignificant. It often comes from a legacy of persecution handed from generation to generation.
Leadership Lessons: What is Success at Work
There is a play that made the rounds decades ago called "How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying" in which the hero knew he had "made it" when he got the key to the executive washroom. The young hero was naive on his journey to the top. Yet the pattern handed to him from prior generations is that money is the key to success. Then decades later there is the film "Wall Street" where money is still the key to success. Yet now the hero is not naive, merely ruthless. It doesn't matter how you get it, so long as you get it. Ethics be damned. Lie, cheat, marry the bosses daughter, marry the boss, just get the money. It seems as a culture this pattern of money as the measure of success continues to be handed from generation to generation with little discussion or redefinition.
