Engagement Challenge Day 5: Clarity Compels

Day 5: Clarity Compels – 2 min

A very significant source of frustration and de-motivation is unclear expectations for the work a person is assigned to complete.

Very few people begin a task with the intention of doing a poor job, but when they receive a poor grade for work they intended to do well, the natural reaction is to exert less effort and care in the future until they receive the clarity they need.

Key Takeaway: Everyone wants, needs and deserves to know in advance what they need to do to earn an A+ on their work assignment.


Day 5 Question:

How clear are the people on your team about the expectations you have for their work?

Is there one task you can further clarify this week?
