Individual success is predicated on choice. As much as they may try, leaders cannot force growth with bribes, coercion, or wishful pleading. Yet, social science has established that behavior is largely a product of immediate environment, so thankfully leaders do wield considerable power. They can’t force success, but they can create an environment that inspires, a culture that fosters individual and collective creativity, risk taking, and unmatched effort. How? LiFT teaches four research-based, universal principles of creating a culture of success, empowering organizations with concepts and tools to LiFT themselves up the path of success.

Culture Principle 1: Raise Expectations

Expect much to achieve much.

The research is clear, if leaders hold individuals to high expectations, they’ll likely raise their own. They can do it, and when leaders truly believe they can, challenging and treating all as they have the potential to become, a leader’s expectation of each individual will quickly become their own expectation of themselves. Additional concepts include:

  • The Pygmalion Effect: Rosenthal and Jacobson
  • Growth Mindset: Dr. Carol Dweck
  • Performance, Academic, and Behavioral Expectations
  • Vision, Goals, Standards, and Procedures
  • Direct application of LiFT’s Culture Grid (See Strengthen Relationships)

Everything is built upon the idea of choice. We cannot coerce them. We cannot force them. And if you ever lose sight of that, your effectiveness is diminished.
