Setting Expectations that Get More from Your Team

Summary

Just when it seems like your team is caught up on their workload, a handful of new projects and requests come in.

Do you do it yourself? Delegate? Will your employees speak up if they feel overwhelmed?

Yes, honest communication between you and your employees is vital, but what makes for a great leader is being able to read between the lines and nurture a culture of accountability within your team.

Setting clear expectations and communicating them in a way that motivates your team is key to developing a responsible and high-performing team.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated with tasks falling through the cracks, burned out trying to get your team to step up and take accountability, or even if delegating while working remotely has been a challenge - this is the workshop for you.

Join us for a strategy-packed workshop that will equip you with:

  • Why setting expectations with your team is a two-way street that requires effort and accountability from both sides
  • The common pitfalls leaders make when setting expectations for their teams – and why they fall flat
  • How to set better expectations with compassion, confidence, and conviction
  • Proven ways to gain buy-in from your team when setting expectations, so they
    follow through
