conflicting expectations

[divbajaj]

Conflicting Expectations. When you expect something from someone else – increased sales, stepped up performance, higher productivity, or more help with your workload- you set yourself up for the possibility of disappointment. Offices are full of subordinates, coworkers, superiors walking around resenting each other over expectations they never discussed, negotiated, or agreed to. Subordinates, peers, & superiors become “difficult” when they stand between you & your expectations.
