It's Nearly 2016...
I would like to wish you the very best that life has to offer as we enter a new year. It could be a year of infinite possibilities, immense growth, great satisfaction, peace, prosperity, and happiness. Or not. Each of us plays a role in what kind of year it is going to be for ourselves and those we influence, lead, and care about. While there are many things we cannot control, we can control how we think, act, talk, and live. We control our choices and our responses to what happens every day. So much of what goes right or wrong at work and in life begins with our EXPECTATIONS - of ourselves, and of others.
This is also true in our work teams, at home teams (families), and our organizations as a whole. Every step of the way, we have great or not so great expectations.
As we bring 2015 to a close and launch ourselves into 2016, there are some questions you might want to consider. Here's a head start: What ARE your expectations...
For Yourself:
- Do you have any personal expectations that will grow you in some way?
- Are these expectations inspiring to you? Do you feel passionate about them?
- Are they a healthy stretch out of your comfort zone but not unrealistic?
- Do you have too many or too few expectations - goals - plans - resolutions?
- Do you have a plan to accomplish - meet - achieve your expectations of yourself?
- How are you going to benchmark, milestone, hold yourself accountable to yourself?
For Your Teams (at work):
- Do you have expectations that will grow your team stronger? Do you have a just hopes or also know how you will create a plan to achieve your expectations?
- Are your expectations inspiring to you and your team?
- Are they too big or too small or just right?
- Do you know what your team expects of you to support them?
- Do team members know what you expect of them to support you?
- Do team members know what they expect of each other?
- How are you going to benchmark, milestone, hold yourself and your team accountable to meeting those expectations?
You get the point, right? Now what about your organization, your boss, your community, your family, your government representatives...? What expectations do you have of each entity and why? All the same questions above can be asked again.
Having expectations is the first step but not the last in creating positive work and life relationships. If you are the only person who knows what YOU expect of a friend, partner, child, team member, co-worker, boss, government representative...then you need to be prepared to be disappointed and frustrated time and time again. If you aren't sure what others expect, you can be blindsided, unhappily surprised, and kept out in the cold. There IS a solution!
EXPLICITLY COMMUNICATING your EXPECTATIONS and ASKING OTHERS about their EXPECTATIONS of YOU is AS important as having them in the first place.
Let's begin 2016 with a POWERFUL INTENTION
1. EXPECT GREAT THINGS OF YOURSELF AND OTHERS
2. COMMUNICATE YOUR GREAT EXPECTATIONS
3. DISCOVER EXACTLY WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU
*****
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE - SEE YOU IN 2016!!
