But Sometimes Your Expectations Of Them Seem Just As Unreasonable (in Their Eyes). The Problem Is That These Mismatched Expectations Can Lead To Misunderstandings, Frayed Nerves, And Ruffled Feathers. More Seriously, They Often Lead To Flawed Systems, Failed Projects, And A Drain On Resources.

Expectations Are Difficult To Control And Impossible To Turn Off. Naomi Karten Offers Concrete Ways To Manage Them, And In The Process, To Dramatically Improve The Effectiveness Of Your Services.
