"Without standards, there can be no expectations. Without expectations, the probability of chaos is high."This quote is so true, yet many leaders assign tasks without communicating standards and expectations. Additionally, leaders must recognize that to whom tasks are assigned should be a thoughtful process, considering two important factors.If you are leader who has ever wondered why the team is not producing to your liking or have had to "re-do" work that you have assigned because it was not completed they way you would have liked, the answer is likely in your failure to delegate effectively.In this episode of The Leaders' Lounge, our Chief Training Officer, Dawn Marie Morris, held a mini-masterclass from a segment of her book, "Unpacking AGAPE-The 7 Languages of Intentional Leadership", on how to avoid, "The Danger of NO Expectations".Pick up your copy of the book, "Unpacking AGAPE: The 7 Languages of Intentional Leadership" at www.worldclasstraining.net/agape

What is your delegation process? Do you just dole out tasks or are you planful in how you share the responsibilities of your team?How often have team members delivered a result that was quite different than what you expected, leading to either double work, abandonment of the project or a deliverable that was substandard? These questions and more are born out of a leader's failure to set expectations when delegating. One of the leader's primary responsibilities is to build a great team of people who can carry out the work of the team in accordance with the leader's mission and vision. Tasks along the way to fulfilling the mission and vision must be delegated well in order to achieve the desired results. In this episode of The Leaders' Lounge our Chief Training Officer, holds a mini-master class on the delegation dilemma and helps you avoid, "The Danger of NO Expectations".Please purchase a copy of her latest book, Unpacking AGAPE: The 7 Languages of Intentional Leadership at www.worldclasstraining.net/agape
