| great expectations |
Subject: great expectations by serendipity on 2008/7/5 13:23:58 i have seen this time and time again in my daily life and online...a person makes a statement or does something that is determined by others to be inappropriate for whatever reason(s)...and instantly, instead of trying to build bridges, we tear it down... we each have our own lines that are drawn which we will not cross...and that is okay...but to expect others to stay behind that line is not... i am not referring to deliberately hurtful behavior that is specifically designed to cause stress to another person...but even so, our own overreaction is the culprit...not the person crossing those lines... i had two employees come to me last week with the same situation seen through two different sets of eyes...i saw each side...i understood that both people bring so much to the table through their energy and creativity...one is older and expects a certain degree of respect...the other is younger and also expects a certain degree of respect... the expectations are valid, yet they cannot see eye-to-eye because their expecations are clouding their visions...neither was giving the other respect because each felt the other wasnt giving respect first...interesting circle, isnt it?... the situation was resolved calmly and both felt rather sheepish when i pointed out my observations... the bar of expectations we hold for others is significantly higher than the one we hold for ourselves... any thoughts? s |
