Having clear expectations can reduce the strife in your personal life and professional life by 50 percent as well as increase your performance. You do that by getting clear about the expectations you have with someone. 

Clear expectations are rooted in seven fundamental steps:

4. Clarify Decision Making
5. Schedule Status Updates
6. Address The Issues
7. Confirm Understanding and Agreement

If you are in a leadership position, you have likely read about how to have teams and workers you lead do something they may not want to do. A day doesn't  go by that you don’t directly or indirectly persuade someone. You have high hopes for having people follow your lead and act in ways that foster innovation, growth, and passion. 

But in everyday life, leaders are dealing with the realty that, all too often, people don’t do what they’re asked and/or behave in ways that don’t support the best interests of the customer, team, or organisation. Let's se how we navigate this in an empowering way....

Persuasion in transformational leadership is not about eloquent and stirring speeches like  Martin Luther King’s "I Have A Dream" speech.

Persuasion in transformational leadership is about positive influence, not manipulation. In its purest form persuasion is the shaping with full integrity the thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviours of others. Let's examine in more detail....

Far too often leaders feel overwhelmed by the everyday demands of their jobs and they in turn disengage from the ideal of workers flourishing and doing their best work. They love the idea of workers flourishing and of a flourishing bottom line, but are not actively engaged in a leadership project that allows it to happen.

For me, it's about shining LIGHT:
Listening
Integrity
Generosoty
Heart
Truth

I would suggest that flourishing is in short supply because of lowered standards. Customers have become accustomed to airlines and railways that regularly delay flights/trains and dismiss passenger frustration; they’ve come to expect banks and other financial institutions to be more concerned with the bank’s financial wellbeing than the customers.  Also, political narratives has been degraded to unimaginable levels.

This sends a powerful message that this person can improve the quality of my life. This is transformational leadership in Action.

In many organizations the word project creates a negative response. Too many projects are
cumbersome and lumbering. They’re populated with people who view the project as a time suck and who lack creativity and enthusiasm for doing meaningful work.

Also, because they feel over scheduled, overworked, and overwhelmed, they want to check off the project team meeting on their to-do list and go back to more important work. 

Let's explore what this really means from a Transformational Leadership perspective.....
