Principle Three
Lucky people expect their interactions with others to be lucky and successful
Lucky people expect to meet people who are interesting, happy and fun to be with. They expect their interactions to go well and be successful. Unlucky people believe that they are destined to meet people who are far more downbeat, sad and boring. These very different expectations affect how others respond and, in the long run, play a huge role in dictating how happy and successful people will be in their personal and professional lives.
Studies have shown that managers' expectations have a profound effect on the productivity of their staff. Managers with high expectations about their subordinates motivate the people around them to perform well, while those with poor expectations cause their staff to become despondent and unproductive. Throughout the business world, expectations have the power to become self-fulfilling prophecies.
