Setting High Expectations is the Key to Improving Performance
01 May 2008
A recent study suggests that if you wish to the improve performance of your staff, then the key is to have high expectations of them. Researchers from Tel Aviv University lead by Professor Dov Eden have found that employees are up to three times more likely to have high levels of performance if their manager has high expectations of them. The team analysed research conducted over the last 25 years, which looked at improving performance in businesses, education establishments as well as various other settings.
It would appear that setting high expectations is therefore a self fulfilling prophesy – if you believe enough in someone to achieve great things then it is more likely to happen.
