Performance, Pace, and Presence

To what level of clarity does your team understand your firm’s expectations?

Intro

Expectations set the ground work for quality, performance, and raising the bar. Expectations allow us to understand the work and our business better.

Without expectations, we tend to hove a foggy lens on everything, including the people, process, and technology, and business.

Most companies are terrible at laying out expectations. It’s a hard reality that many leaders face, but few ever learn to fix in their leadership. After relationship, expectations drive everything. Without expectations your people, your teams, your company, your stakeholders, your investors, your partners, yourself— no one knows what’s going on, what is expected, what does good look like, or who is accountable to what and what we are chasing. So many fundamentals relied on expectations so let’s take a step back and look at a few of the business principles or foundations that allow for the type of prosperity. Most of us would strive for. Things like:

  • Relationship 

  • Expectations

  • Clarity

  • Character

  • Win win

  • Service

  • Purpose

  • Vision

  • Impact

I see these as values based business principles that are imperative to do great things with others, for others, and enhance your own life through serving others. 

I truly think these values based principles are not a punchline. They’re not a popular thing to say they are not words just throw around. I see them as grounding mechanisms to keep you anchored in what matters in business in life. I’m sure I’m missing a few, but this is hopefully a good start as as you decide what’s important in your company or your team.

I don’t always get these right, I don’t always live these to the level I would like to, but frankly none of us do. None of us are perfect, but what we strive for, the intention behind it, the impact, and results that we can make through these efforts can change lives.

Closing
