If you don't expect too much from me, you might not be let down

podcast Sep 30, 2020

Hello and welcome to Episode 29 of the People Powered Business Podcast!

In todays episode we talked about expectations, both those you have of your staff and those your team have of you. I shared with you one of my all time favourite lines from a song “If you don’t expect too much from me, you might not be let down” (Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy), and how I see this show up so often in workplaces.

We discuss when you need to set expectations and some practical strategies for setting realistic and measurable expectations. We also referred to a previous episode where I interviewed Shandra Moran from The Transit Lounge and we discussed tolerance and boundaries, you can l...
