Establishing Clear Expectations

 

Clear: understood precisely; without confusion or uncertainty

Expectation: a standard of conduct or performance expected by or of somebody

When surveyed, the most successful people in the top performing companies answered positively to the question, “Do I know what is expected of me at work?” Unfortunately, many managers are uncomfortable when setting and communicating expectations to their employees. The result is unsatisfied employees, sub-par performance and increased difficulty in holding people accountable for the responsibilities. This class will help managers drive ambiguity out of the work place and enable their people to focus on the factors that drive success.
