One of the biggest challenges any leader can face is knowing how to set the right expectations. Too often in the home, our expectations borderline perfection. 

Business 101 is that if you close every sale, you're either not charging enough or you haven't talked to enough people yet. 

Consider record holding athletes such as Michael Jordan. He has hit more game-winning buzzer beaters than anyone else in the history of the NBA.

But he only made 45% - less than half - of the game-winning buzzer beaters he took.

Jim Thome holds the Major League Baseball record for the most walk-off home runs. Thome had 13 walk-off home runs in his career. 

Now compare that number 13 to over 2,500 games he played in during his career.

The examples go on, but more important is your answer to these next two questions. 

First, why do you set yourself up to fail at leading your family by creating unrealistic expectations? 

And second, how do you manage expectations as a leader in your home? 

I'm going to answer both of those with you. But first, let me share a story.
