Strategy Bites
Raise the Bar, Lightly
You want to raise the level of work your team delivers, but you feel conflicted about imposing your high standards, which leads to "settling" for less than the best. While it's good to be empathetic, consistently accepting subpar work may hurt team growth and project success, and this can feel frustrating. This approach focuses on simple but effective communication that establishes a slightly higher baseline for the team’s output without making anyone feel micromanaged. You'll start introducing clearer expectations in a positive way that doesn’t feel like you’re being overly critical or demanding.
