I've been reading up on the concept of "expectations" lately, specifically when it comes to coaching, and in even more open-ended ventures like managing an organization. 

 

I stumbled across this statement / transcribed conversation:

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Interviewer: "Coach, what are your expectations for your team and your players?"

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Coach: "For my team, I expect to win. That's what we work for. For my players, I have no expectations."

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Interviewer: "'No expectations' Coach? That seems odd. Don't you have an idea in your head of what your players should accomplish?"

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Coach: "Yes I do. I have a very clear idea of what they need to do.

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Interviewer: "Aren't those 'expectations' then? You have a goal that they need to accomplish?"

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Coach: "I don't have expectations for my players, I have demands. There are things that they need to do in order to be successful, and these things they are required to do. Expectations leave room for someone to fall short. Demands do not. If they players cannot perform to the demands, then they aren't doing their job. We don't have people who can't do their jobs, so we make sure as coaches that the players perform what they are told to do and in the manner that they are told to do it. In short, we have no expectations, only demands."

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

Now, while I don't think you can employ that kind of heavy handedness in a more traditional workforce / organization, I do like the idea of a coaching staff not allowing one single rep of any one exercise falling below the level demanded of the participants. I like that a lot. It's not about yelling and getting in player's faces. It's about not allowing them to walk away from a rep when full effort was not given.


I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
