If you don't know what they want from you, what do you do?
Do you:
💜 Assume or guess?
💜Ask for forgiveness, not permission?
💜Avoid asking questions because you're afraid of looking stupid?
Clear expectations help teams stay accountable, communicate better, and feel heard.
During my recent work with the J. Lorber Company operations team, we had an opportunity to talk about expectations between the team and their managers.
What did we see?
A lot of their expectations actually overlapped. That realization led to an important conversation: we may be more on the same page than we think.
Sometimes it's simply creating the space to ask:
"What do you expect from me?"
And then being willing to answer:
"Here's what you can expect from me."
Thanks, Michael Lorber, for supporting your team!
