Course 2, Discussion 3: High Expectations and High Warmth

@FrenchToastClub

What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

An imbalance rocks the boat. If i have a imbalance i wouldn't lead properly. I might be a trouble for the community's development. Imbalanced warmth might seem good for me but it definitely might not be good for the community.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

My actions would cause trouble to the community indirectly, people start to move away from us. Our vision in providing free support might be in vain because of my irresponsible actions.

I might be a specimen for my fellow mates. People come here for support and care, when i fail to provide warmth our mission is completed ruined.

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

Mine and my teams productivity gonna be affected negatively, and I won't be able to support people in the best way.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

1. The community will not meet the goal. And the imalance will always be there as people stressed or people don't do their allocated work. Both scenarios will be bad for community.

2. If they are directly part of my work/role they might have to overwork for me and it might leads to burnout or as a whole leadership team even if just one team fail, it will have an impact all other teams.

1. What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

<3 Expectations:
I believe that having little to no expectations will cause the listener to lack the motivation to explore and grow more whereas, having high expectations with a lack of boundaries, may lead to burnout and cause feelings of distress, envy, etc.

<3 Warmth:
Similarly, having little to no warmth may cause one to grow bitter toward the community whereas, having excessive warmth may cause the leaders to experience a downfall in productivity and a mismanaged environment.

Warmth and expectations go hand in hand. One must practice both crucially and sincerely.

2. How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact:

<3 the community:
It may cause the community to experience a downfall as they could potentially lead to mismanagement and lack of productivity.

<3 impact how you work with your fellow leaders:
It may cause the leaders to experience a lack of motivation, reliability, and credibility which could lead to fewer people enrolling in leadership roles.

What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

It will affect team members and productivity of team will reduce and it'll be difficult to work together as a team with same spirit and interest and as a leader i will be unable to provide the support to team members and community.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

It'll make team members feel unmotivated and they'll not see me as a good leader. And it'll be hard work together with other leaders and it'll affect the positive environment at 7 cups.

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

I think if there is an imbalance, not as much work gets done. you either get an incredibly hostile leader (high expectations low warmth) or a ugh for lack of better words "push over" leader (high warmth, low expectations) neither of those are great work enviorments.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

Having an imbalance, whether it be low expectations or low warmth, greatly affects productivity. If no one gets any work done, then the community doesn't have its needs met. And as for affect on fellow leaders, no one if going to want to work with a leader who has an imbalance, and also doesn't get enough work done.

i would also like to note when copy and pasting the questions i almost copied an anime boy :D

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

I think if I have an imbalance of expectations and warmth, it will cause an imbalance. Imbalance overall can cause conflicts in the team. This is something that should be in balance to maintain a good quality of work and success.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

Too low expectations:

1) People with higher potential will feel useless, they can't complete their full potential;

2) This is also negatively impacted. It can bring more stress to leaders.

Too little warmth:

1) The community members feel unwelcomed;

2) I think here we can go with the same reply as above.

What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?
An imbalance of expectations and warmth is not productive, discourage people from being engaged, impact negatively the productivity levels.

How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

Too low expectation affect the quality of work, it shows you accept bad productivity, motivation, quality results and impact negatively the community. While too little warmth, does not encourage people, it discourage them because they don't feel they are able to achieve those goals. It affects negatively the community, because its not welcoming and people are not going to stay. it may break my team. People will not contact you if they are struggling because your response will be too cold and not supportive.

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

Having high expectations and low warmth would cause me to appear rude and inconsiderate as a leader. This will make members and listeners to feel uncomfortable around me.

Having low expectations and high warmth will lead to a friendly atmosphere of stagnation and lack of improvement. This will cause the community to produce compassionate but low quality services.

A balance of the two is needed.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community,

Too low expectations will lead to stagnation of the community. Too little warmth will lead to discouragements, depression and burn outs.

and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

Too low expectations causes unprofessionalism when interacting with other leaders. This can lead to breaking of key boundaries. Low warmth leads to a rude and discriminatory interaction.

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

Unrealistic expectations lead to disappointments. Keeping the team aligned and focused on their relevant milestones balances expectations and warmth. In case the imbalance has occurred, warmth should be raised slowly where expectations are achievable,

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

Expectations and Warmth should both be relatively balanced to have a positive impact on both the Community and fellow leaders.

Being humble but focused may bring out positive results, in comparison to being aggressive and having multiple goals to achieve.
