Stage 3: Empowering Your Team

Read More about The Expectation Achievement Model

Welcome to The Expectation Achievement Model

How many times have you set an arbitrary financial target and then failed to meet it?

When businesses are dominated by the left brain, motivation drops, relationships suffer, productivity falls, and people lose a sense of purpose in their work.

At the moment in the UK, only 10% of employees feel engaged with their company, while 38% feel daily stress and 19% feel daily anger.

To help resolve this situation, MyBigSky has created T.E.A.M. (The Expectation Achievement Model). T.E.A.M helps leaders train their right brain to lead the left, bringing joy and fulfilment into leadership.

T.E.A.M includes four stages:

Getting to know yourself
Setting the right expectations
Empowering your team
Executing your plan

These stages help leaders get to know themselves so they set the right expectations, right for them and their teams, not just financial goals, but goals that include a wider perspective, e.g. around Prosperity, People, and the Planet.

*Inspired by Dr Karl Friston (Free Energy Theory) and Dr Ian McGilchrist (The Master and His Emissary)

We are not necessarily looking for some profound purpose but having relevant and inspiring expectations in the business that can provide people with moments of meaning throughout their working day; linking the left brain to the right.

Once the right expectations have been set, T.E.A.M looks to empower the team with tools and techniques that will bring out the best in them as well as ensure execution of the plan has maximum impact.

By using T.E.A.M, leaders can experience the personal joy and fulfilment that comes from leading with meaning and achieving their expectations.

Empowering Your Team: Creating a High-Performance Culture

Empowering your team is essential for strong leadership, fostering a workplace where individuals feel valued, motivated, and confident. Stage 3 provides leaders with the strategies to create a culture of trust, collaboration, and high performance. When employees feel empowered, they take ownership of their work, leading to greater engagement, productivity, and overall success.

A strong workplace culture is essential for empowering your team, as effective communication, active listening, and recognition build trust and motivation. Hiring the right people and investing in their growth create a thriving workforce, while encouraging feedback and acting on it enhances engagement and job satisfaction. Sustaining team success requires motivation and employee retention, with leaders implementing strategies that boost engagement and performance while providing career growth opportunities. Continuous learning, mentorship, and recognition keep employees inspired and committed. Coaching and communication are vital leadership skills, enabling leaders to provide guidance, foster problem-solving, and deliver clear, impactful messages. Empowering your team requires commitment, trust, and adaptability, fostering a collaborative, high-performing environment that drives long-term success.

The Expectation Achievement Model

The Expectation Achievement Model offers a structured approach for leaders to assess and enhance their self-awareness. By engaging in reflective practices, identifying their key motivators, and recognising their behavioural tendencies, leaders can develop habits that support their personal and professional well-being. Strategic self-reflection helps leaders build resilience, improve decision-making, and align their leadership approach with organisational goals.

Developing self-awareness in leadership is an ongoing process that demands commitment and continuous growth. Leaders who prioritise self-discovery unlock their full potential, strengthen their leadership presence, and create a lasting impact within their organisations. By embracing self-awareness, they foster a culture of trust, collaboration, and innovation, paving the way for sustainable success.
