Clarifying What You
and Your Employees
Have in Common
YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING fi rst and a manager second. Since your
employees are also human beings fi rst, you already have much in
common with them. This means that your employees’ expecta-

of your current manager or managers in the past. Likewise, your
employees’ desires of you (which are more than expectations) are
not much different from the desires you have of your manager.
