Expectations I place on my children are the bare minimum and I groom them to be exceptional leaders, honest, trustworthy and to think outside the box but what I expect of them is the bare minimum. This is the way I was brought up and have found the corporate world to be like minded. By expecting only the bare minimum I am making it extremely easy to be let down and setting my children up for failure. I look back at grade school. What did my teachers expect? What did the system expect? I didn't need acclaim, trophies, awards or approval. I only needed to stave off the pain of failure. By doing the bare minimum I met their expectations. By design, I became an expert at bare minimum.
It was on my first Daddy Daughter date with Elizabeth, now 7, that I realized the need to teach my children to recognize expectations. the new bare minimum for my children is to recognize and exceed the expectations others place on them.
