Expectations Article

Posted by Jerry in Goals and Expectations

I ran across a great article today entitled Setting Expectations by Peggy L. McNamara on the WomenTodayMagazine.com site.

In the article Peggy makes 3 key points:

  1. State your expectations on a regular basis - not once or twice a year.
  2. Follow-up and hold people accountable.
  3. Realize that holding people accountable is not dictatorship and that not everyone will agree. So sharing a bit of your vision and why it is important may be required from time to time.

She goes on to discuss how to confront certain issues but I don’t want to ruin that for you. Go read it in full. it’s worth your time.

Peggy is the author of “My Tender Soul - A Story of Survival”. She publishes a monthly e-zine, “Perpetual Life Management” and is the President/Minnesota Chapter/Nat’l Speakers Assoc. and Co-Owner/Huntington Learning Center/White Bear Lake, MN 651-438-2656 - Direct 651-438-2694 - Fax 888-269-7771 http://www.peggymcnamara.com. Peggy works with organizations that want to increase overall effectiveness and Generation X Women who want to develop to their fullest potential.

And just so you guys know, I found it by Googling the term “setting expectations” not because I was reading Women Today Magazine, not that there’s anything wrong with that….
