LEVEL UP

People usually step up to the level you expect them to.  So if people aren’t stepping up, are your expectations too low?

We need to respect people enough to let them know, clearly, what we expect from them.  Chances are they’ll step up -- but here’s the thing, you need to let them know what you’re expecting, otherwise it isn’t fair that you’re disappointed when they fall short.

However, if you tell them and they still let you down, then you’ll know something very valuable about this individual -- you’ll know that they don’t respect you.
