Leadership Thoughts; “You get from people what you expect”

Dr. Gene Bottoms with the Southern Educational Regional Board (SREB) has conducted extensive research and years of field studies in local high schools across the country. His research consistently shows that student performance increases when high expectation are set and they are held accountable. Even students with a history of low performance consistently meet high expectations when they are held accountable.

This is a valuable lesson as leaders. Adults are no different that high school students. We must hold high expectations and hold people accountable if we expect them to become more effective and productive.

Remember most people (young and old) like structure, they like to know what parameters they have to work within, and the want to know what are the expectation As leaders, it is our responsibility to set the expectation.

Thank you for the Christian leadership that you exemplify each day.
