Why “Good Enough” Really Is Good Enough

In this episode, we dive into an often overlooked truth: your company doesn’t need everyone to exceed expectations. What it really needs are steady, reliable people who meet expectations.

As a business owner or leader, it’s easy to view your team through the lens of a high achiever—you want everyone to push harder, do more, and constantly go above and beyond. But that mindset can create burnout and undervalue the very people who keep your business running.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this episode:

• Why meeting expectations isn’t mediocrity—it’s reliability.
• How leaders accidentally create pressure for everyone to exceed expectations.
• Why life seasons change people’s level of drive and why that’s okay.
• How to design evaluations and feedback so that “meets expectations” is celebrated, not punished.

Reflection Question: Who on your team is quietly meeting expectations every day—and how can you show them that you value their consistency?
