Expect a Lot, Care a Lot: How 6 Critical Practices Create High-Performing Teams (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781668264065)

Most leaders believe they have to choose between driving results and supporting their people. Expect a Lot, Care a Lot shows how the best leaders do both at the same time.

From the team behind The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 4 Disciplines of Execution, this next-generation leadership framework reveals how high expectations and deep care work together to drive sustained, exceptional results--without burnout.

Grounded in research across 60 countries and refined through thousands of real-world implementations, the authors introduce six critical practices that consistently move teams into the highest levels of engagement and performance.

These six practices show leaders how to:

- Align purpose and performance so people know what matters--and why

- Communicate as a coach to unlock ownership and capability

- Delegate in ways that build capacity, not dependency

- Use feedback as daily fuel for growth and results

- Manage energy as a renewable asset, not something to expend

- Turn 1-on-1s into the engine of trust, clarity, and accountability

Practical, repeatable, and grounded in how work actually gets done, each practice translates directly into everyday leadership behavior. Whether you lead a small team or a global organization, Expect a Lot, Care a Lot offers a clear, proven system for driving performance while strengthening the people who make it possible.
