Expectations & Self-fulfilling Prophecies: What We Expect Is What We Get

On Season 1 Episode 9:
Business owners, leaders and managers often hold a certain expectation of their employees. But these expectations change employee by employee. However, what we learn about in this episode of the podcast is loads of research which suggests our expectations of others - and ourselves - becomes reality.

When leaders hold high-expectations of their employees, they are far more likely to overcommunicate, provide additional support and encouragement, resulting in a higher performing employee. When leaders have low-expectations of their employees, these employees tend to perform more poorly than their cohorts creating quite the chicken and egg scenario.
