Having High Standards

How high do you set the bar for yourself and for others? If you're anything like most of my clients then your answer is probably "pretty high." The questions that beg to be answered are... is having high standards a good thing or a bad thing? And how do you know if your standards are just high or if they're in fact unrealistic? There are two very important aspects to consider when answering these questions; the responsibilities that come with having high standards and the relationship you have with yourself and the standards you aim to live up to. I share the details in this week's episode of The Manager Track so you can evaluate whether your standards are high in a good way or if they are simply unrealistic and create a discouraging environment for your team. -- RESOURCES MENTIONED -- Schedule a call with Ramona: http://www.ramonashaw.com/apply Connect with Ramona on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ramona.shaw.leadership  Connect with Ramona on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-shaw Self-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself Book by Kristin Neff Grab your copy of Ramona's best-selling new book 'The Confident & Competent New Manager: How to Rapidly Rise to Success in Your First Leadership Role': https://amzn.to/3TuOdcP If this episode inspired you in some way, take a screenshot of you listening on your device and post it to your Instagram Stories, and tag me @ramona.shaw.leadership or DM me on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramona-shaw/ Are you in your first manager role and don't want to mess it up?
