Times are crazy right now! You're in charge even though you think you have no idea what you're doing. You want there to be a manual somewhere to help you with mandates, employee fears, and ambiguity.

Never fear. This special episode introduces you to a resource for navigating these uncharted waters you find yourself in.

In order to build a team performance culture, you have to have a mindset around why you are adding people to your business that supports what you're trying to do in the long term. Your culture is not driven from the bottom up. It's driven from you down.

1. How knowing your vision, values and expectations comes into play.
2. The definition of "performance culture" according to Kris.
3. How the culture you have with your team is a direct result of your own thinking about the team.
4. Hiring people who are better than you doesn't mean to give them free reign.
5. A key turn is going from "I'm hiring someone to work for me" to "I'm hiring someone to get results for me and to help me scale and think."
6. Your assignment after listening to this podcast – write down how you would describe your team culture and why it is that way.
7. Then, if you would want it to be different than it is – what would you want it to be? Why? And what are the thoughts you need to believe about team members that will get you there?

Let's talk about the five types of expectations women should have and implement in their businesses. By setting clear expectations, leaders can do a better job of achieving improved results and holding their team members accountable.

What you'll find in this episode:

1. The manual is a set of rules that you have for other people that you believe are true and that you hold other people to.
2. Expectations are those behaviors that you expect of people who work for you that are based on the values of your business -- and you DO communicate them.
3. Standards are measurable policies and rules. They're black and white and are born out of the values and expectations.
4. Key performance measures for every role in your company.
5. Individual goals.
6. The majority of the issues we have in a business, when it comes to "team," is behavior, not skill set.
7. You have to set expectations regarding behavior because that also sets the tone for your culture.
