You must always define what you will and won’t tolerate

In this Minute of Truth, I’ll share two rules for teaching, parenting and business that keep things clear and take away excuses.

Whether I’m dealing with a room full of students, one of my daughters or a potential client, I fall back on two rules to help us work successfully on shared objectives. One, I define and explain my boundaries as clearly as possible; and two, I enforce those boundaries with ruthless consistency.

Clear boundaries ensure both parties know what to expect from each other and establish common ground upon which to operate. Refusing to compromise on boundaries once they’re set reminds everyone involved that being true to your word is critically important to trusting, cooperative relationships of all kinds.
