No one you hire can read your mind. 😅 If you have expectations of your team, it is your responsibility to communicate them.
As with any relationship, unspoken expectations often lead to disappointment because we rely on the other person to figure out what we expect from them. And it rarely works out that way.
This doesn't mean you have to coddle anyone or repeat yourself constantly, but it does mean you need to set a standard and provide the necessary resources for your team to succeed. Let's review some examples to help you shift your perspective.
