“People can look at expectations two ways. Setting high expectations will lead to disappointment or setting high expectations will deliver great results. Great leaders set high expectations for their organization and their team. Their objective is to raise performance to meet expected mission accomplishment. They do this by leading by example and setting high standards and expectations for themselves. They envision the future, they energize the team, they set high standards, and they reinforce the behaviors and conduct consistent with the high expectations they’ve set. Leaders that set high expectations and live by them are charismatic. What expectations will you set as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
