In the midst of the whirlwind that works is sometimes akin to, an interesting thought came up… How to set expectations for oneself of other people. As in my case what can I expect from *insert anyone*?
I don’t know yet… And what’s worse is even if I did I don’t know how to express it to them.
The challenge was always that if I expect someone else to do something that I could do, then I put myself at risk of being disappointed/held back by their lack of performance. So if I do it myself, then it wouldn’t be an issue… But it is true in the meantime if I always “pick up the slack”, then how do I help the people that I work shoulder-to-shoulder with to grow and to become their best self?
I’ll have to ponder that one a bit longer.
But in the meantime, it’s time to hit the road
