Setting Expectations

Self-confidence and high expectations are relate as we must be confident in our own abilities and set high expectations for our own personal performance before we can set high expectations for others. In order to do anything special, extraordinary, or exceptional we must first visualize it and set an expectation to achieve; this is the process of individual goal setting. This process; at an individual level, must be the type of accomplishment that requires others for its ultimate accomplishment. Our individual dream then transcends our individual efforts and our goal attracts others like a magnet as an worthwhile effort worthy of investing effort and energy. Others must be able to look at us and see the benefit of demanding excellence in the execution of our goals and desires and as we share that dream these high expectations extend outward to others. Going the extra mile, having high expectations for our own personal performance is foundational to leading and thereby achieving high personal performance in others. Expect Success . . .
