In a world full of anxiety and people tiptoeing around topics the last thing we need to do is not address the proverbial elephant in the room.  Unconscious Bias, Implicit Bias, Implicit Social Cognition or whatever the topic is nowadays one thing is clear we all have a bias.

The keys to success are to manage and be aware of what they are so we can have meaningful and useful discussions about how to move forward together.

Expectation management isn't just about you avoiding damaging errors from misalignment with preconceptions, it also represents a fantastic opportunity. This conversation today is an exciting take on what it looks like through life and career transition.

Whether you are developing in a leadership role or developing as an individual contributor we must get comfortable with communicating boundaries.  Why we believe this is hard is because we feel if we somehow let others know what they can expect from us that somehow makes us rigid and not a very good teammate.

But it is quite the contrary.  Being a great teammate is all about communicating and showing the team who and what you are.  We train people how to treat us.
