Managing Expectations: A Mindful Approach to Achieving Success

Success is measured in how well and how regularly you meet expectations. But what exactly are expectations, and how do you effectively manage them when multiple priorities and personalities are involved?

Readers will learn how to make sure expectations are rational, mutually understood, and accepted by all those with a stake in the project.
