Abdullah couldn’t believe it!…….
He checked his records, and sure enough, there were far more A’s and B’s in the class that he thought was full of smart kids. And he really had enjoyed teaching that class more. But the only real difference between the classes had been Abdullah’s expectations of them.
You can set people up for success or failure by your expectations.
People tend to become what they think we expect them to be. If you communicate to the people around you that you expect them to be lazy, uncreative, and negative, that’s probably how they will respond to you. On the other hand, if you treat people like winners, they’re likely to become winners. Psychologists call it “The Pygmalion Effect.”
• The best salesmen expect customers to buy their product.
• The best executives expect employees to have creative ideas.
• The best speakers expect audiences to be interested.
• The best leaders expect people to want to follow.
• The best teachers expect students to learn.
Would you like to bring out the best in those around you? Here’s the key: Treat them the way they could be! Don’t just “tell it like it is.” Tell it like it could be.
What are you expecting this week from yourself, from others, from God?

Thanks for sharing your experience

really i like it but sometimes it dosen’t work with some people who do not care and have no responcibility so i think the leader or the executive firstly should give them a chance then he will be able to judge and deal with them as he saw and according to success in their work
thank you i like it
