05+Empowering+Others

I was trying to decide where to put my little blurb about high expectations and I thought maybe this would be the right spot. It really made sense to me when the video was talking about leaders needing to expect the best and employees will often rise to those expectations. If there are no expectations why would someone what to give it their all? As a teacher I would do it for the kids but if it weren't for them, would I rise to expectations that were non-existant? I think another part of empowering others is setting standards and holding employees to those standards (which again relates to the high expectations). Setting examples and encouraging others fuels people to want to rise to the higher expectations. When people feel good about what they do and feel they are making a difference I think they will often give their best effort.
