First of all, wishing you all a Happy New Year! Thank you for receiving and/or reading these. We’re going to cover great things in 2023.
Do you like it when others expect a lot of you? What if they do so in a supportive way?
We can make a matrix out of expectations and support and think of the results (I’m almost positive I didn’t invent this representation, but I can’t remember where I saw it first—If you know, I’d love to give credit):
Where do you fall in this matrix? If you lead teams, where does the culture of your team fit?
I grew up largely in the upper left quadrant. It left its mark. It’s why it took me two years from inception to actually writing these emails.
Today, I want to operate in the upper right, with teammates that mutually expect the world but walk hand in hand to get there. I think fulfillment and flourishing await there.
See you in 2023.
