High Performance organizations have high expectations and require discipline and above-average performance from their people.

What are YOUR expectations for your team? What rules do you have that must be followed no matter what? Come up with your list, then make sure to communicate it both verbally as well as in writing to your team. Enforce those rules - no excuses. When you do, you will gain respect as a leader and will see that your team will "step up to the plate" and improve performance.
Until next time...
