Expectations and poor communication is usually to blame for your work frustrations.
Not their expectations and lack of clear communication, but everyone’s at the table.
Yes, yours included.
The talented managers I see most employees reach out to merely listen to what is happening and find the weak spot in the communication between the parties. They usually find what wasn’t said while you’re focused on what was said.
Consider that every person you’ll interact with at work is likely having someone push them closer to the flame, and it’s uncomfortable to have more responsibility, bigger expectations, and more anxiety about potentially screwing up.
Discover what expectations the other has as well as the distant others’ expectations of them. Once you acknowledge that, it’s easier to see where that missing communication piece is; not what she or you said, but what wasn’t said and needs to be.
Stay Positive & Proactive Communication Is The Cure To Work Frustrations
