What if I told you half your team doesn’t fully understand what’s expected of them at work? It’s not just a job description issue—it’s a leadership one. In this episode of Stop. Drop & ROLE, we’ll uncover how unclear expectations lead to disengagement, burnout, and turnover—and what you can do about it.

*Two perspectives are addressed here - the top leaders as well as those of you simply leading yourself, with unclear expectations (wherever you fall within the org chart).

Summary: According to Gallup, only 50% of employees strongly agree they know what’s expected of them at work. This ambiguity can wreak havoc on teams and organizations. Whether you’re a leader managing others or someone navigating unclear directions, understanding and clarifying expectations is critical.

Join host Jen Cáceres as she guides you through the 6-step process to bridge the expectations gap:

1. Stop: Pause and assess the impact unclear expectations have on your team—and on yourself.
2. Drop: Let go of assumptions. Clarity comes from communication, not guesswork.
3. Reflect: How approachable are you, leader? How are you asking for clear expectations?
4. Observe: Look for behavioral cues in your team. Are they engaged, confused, or shutting down?
5. Listen: Hear what your team is saying (and not saying) about their work and expectations.
6. Evolve: Embrace continuous improvement by creating a culture of clear communication and psychological safety.

This episode is packed with real-world stories, actionable insights, and strategies to help leaders and team members thrive—even in ever-changing environments.

Listen now to uncover how you can foster clarity, engagement, and trust in your workplace. Don't let ambiguity hold your team back!

In this episode of Stop. Drop. & R.O.L.E., Jen Cáceres takes on the buzzword of the decade: employee engagement. What does it really mean, why does it matter, and—most importantly—how do you reclaim it? Drawing from her extensive experience designing engagement initiatives for organizations, Jen breaks down the myths, realities, and actionable strategies for managers and leaders alike.

Engagement belongs to the people leaders. Up to 70% of the variance in engagement depends on the manager, yet only 23% of employees worldwide report being actively engaged at work (Gallup). If you're ready to face the hard truths and embrace the growth opportunities, this episode is for you.

What You'll Learn:

• Why engagement starts and ends with the manager—and why rewards, recognition, and pizza parties aren’t enough.
• Stop: Stop relying on cookie-cutter definitions and focus on understanding your unique team’s needs.
• Drop: Drop the excuses and the belief that HR owns engagement—it’s your responsibility as the leader.
• Reflect: Ask yourself tough questions about your leadership style, how well you know your team, and where disengagement may stem from.
• Observe: Look for subtle signs of disengagement, burnout, or untapped potential. Notice who’s "in it", who’s pretending, and who’s not at all.
• Listen: Create trust by asking open-ended questions, listening without defensiveness, and acting on what you hear.
• Evolve: Lead with intention, adaptability, and humanity. As your team grows and changes, so must your leadership.

Engagement is ongoing and evolves as people do. Start small. Begin by simply asking, “What makes you feel valued?” Listen. Act. And watch engagement grow.
