Manager vs. Leader How to reset expectations after people stop pulling their weight

Manager vs. Leader How to reset expectations after people stop pulling their weight How to reset expectations after people stop pulling their weight. Like a leader, not a manager. Well, number one is we wanna own the drift here. See, a manager will just say, look, everyone needs to step it up. But a leader says, look, I. I've let some things slide and that's on me. But let's reset what good looks like together. We lose credibility when we pretend that this drift didn't happen or it wasn't on us. And we can ask like, where do you think that we've drifted from the standard? You wanna invite a dialogue? That leads to number two. We wanna calibrate the standard together. The manager is just gonna start saying what they expect. Right? I expect X, Y, Z moving forward. That's it. Any questions? But a leader understands that we build with our people, not for them. So alright, let's define what good looks like together so that we can hold each other to that standard. I always say this. Standards are strongest when the team helps build them. And I keep going back to that same phrase, what great looks like. So if a, a new team member started tomorrow, what would we all say? Hey, here's what great looks like. Let's define that. I love Dale Carnegie's. People support what they help create. So let's start that reset right now.

We all love James Clear's Atomic Habits, so let's build them intentionally. The manager just says, alright, let's not let that happen again. Okay? But a leader says, let's. And it's this, let's piece, right? Let's decide how we're going to reinforce the standards every week. Standards stick when they become part of the culture, not just part of the meeting. So we bake that in. How will we know that we're living this out consistently? You think about the best teams out there. They don't. They don't just talk about their standards once. No, they reinforce them every single practice, every time they're on the field, the court, etcetera. In the arena, let's do the same. A manager thinks they're resetting expectations with one meeting, but a leader understands that they're rebuilding the culture by creating shared ownership, shared standards and shared accountability. Look, leadership is not a title, right? It's a fire. And we have the opportunity to ignite it, not only in ourselves, but in others.
