Unspoken Expectations

We all have them.  Whether it’s a church staff, your family, or your friends, you expect certain things from them without ever having a conversation about those things.

Among our staff, we attempt to voice those expectations.  Lots of our frustrations with other people come as a result of unspoken expectations.  I expected one thing.  They delivered something totally different.  I get frustrated and then realize that I never told them what I expected.

The bottom line is this:  the only thing that can come out of not voicing your expectations is disappointment.  Save yourself and everyone else a little time and tell them what you are looking for.
