The Thoughtful Talents Show - Setting Team Expectations and a Key Goal - Season 2 - Episode 1

How can leaders help their teams be productive and engaged? In this episode of The Thoughtful Talents Show ‪@jenwernercoach‬ and I explore the importance of establishing clear shared team expectations and focusing on a singular key goal.

Based on current research by Gallup, only 47% of people know what's expected of them at work. At the same time, research by TeamStage indicates that more than 75% of employees strongly agree that collaboration is essential for team and organizational success. So what can leaders do to bridge this gap?
