Msikilize Eng. John Siulapwa kutoka Atlanta, Marekani akituchambua kitabu cha Leading From Behind

The Floor is a life framework that explains each decade as a different “floor” with its own lessons, challenges, and responsibilities. Instead of seeing life as random, The Floor shows that every stage has specific things we must learn to grow—like decision-making, ego management, letting go, navigating peer pressure, and managing unspoken expectations. Each floor shapes our character, relationships, and mindset. When you understand the floor you’re on, you stop comparing yourself to others and focus on the growth required for your season. The Floor helps you rise, mature, and move to the next level with clarity and purpose.

Uncommunicated expectations are silent agreements we make in our minds, then punish others for breaking. We assume people should know what we need, how we feel, or what we hoped for — without ever expressing it. This creates invisible pressure, quiet disappointments, and growing resentment in relationships, workplaces, and friendships. We get hurt not by what people did, but by what we expected them to do. Clear communication is an act of love and leadership. When we speak honestly, we give others a chance to understand, respond, and show up. Expectation without communication is a trap. Say it before you resent it.
