When Expectations Are Unclear, Frustration Follows


Hi, Reader,

When managers provide unclear expectations or priorities, it’s not just a workflow issue. It’s a leadership gap.

Clarity is one of the most loving things you can give your team.

It removes guesswork, reduces anxiety, and sets everyone up for success. When communication breaks down, even the most capable employees end up feeling frustrated, disconnected, or unsure of what “good” looks like.

As leaders, it’s our job to communicate expectations clearly and consistently. Not once at the beginning of a project, but throughout it.

The more your team understands what success looks like, the more confident and accountable they become!

Take a moment today to ask yourself: Have I been clear about what matters most right now?

Your team will thank you for it.

Cheering you on,

One of the biggest myths I see in leadership is this: “I’m just not naturally assertive, so hard conversations will always be difficult for me.” Here’s the truth, confidence in hard conversations has nothing to do with personality. It comes from preparation, emotional regulation, and practice. Check out this 10 second short below I’ve worked with thoughtful, kind, introverted, and deeply empathetic leaders who learned to speak clearly, hold boundaries,...
