The Power of Clarity: Small Business Teams Want Clear Expectations. (The Worksheet)

The importance of managing expectations.
Communication gap
It is not because you lied to them about their jobs.
It is because you didn’t communicate well.

As a result, their role did not match what they had anticipated, and now they are disappointed.
Expected outcomes
What truly matters in any job is the expected outcome.
Consider the analogy of dicing a bell pepper: there are many ways to achieve the same result. Whether you chop off the top and remove the seeds first or slice off each side, the end goal remains the same.
In a business context, communicating what you want to achieve is way more important than micromanaging how employees accomplish it.
