Setting Expectations

First things first: your employees need to know what you expect of them in order to succeed.
Why are expectations important in the workplace? Plain and simple - job expectations and role definition will keep your employees focused. This will prevent them from getting off track and wandering off task, and will ensure that they produce outcomes on a regular basis. Setting goals (or expectations) motivates us, excites us, and makes us want to push ourselves to grow. What is this? Managing expectations is not always going to be easy, since there are good and bad sides to having them. We should always remember that certain things might be in our control, while many might not.
