In this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio, Denise Griffitts welcomes Dr. R. Karl Hebenstreit, an organizational psychologist and leadership coach whose latest book, Explicit Expectations, offers a powerful guide to the management fundamentals every leader needs — but few are ever taught. Karl explains why newly promoted supervisors and seasoned managers alike often struggle without clear guidance, and how making expectations explicit (not assumed or implied) creates alignment, clarity, and trust across teams. Together, Denise and Karl discuss how organizations can prevent disengagement, miscommunication, and turnover by realigning expectations as business environments evolve. Listeners will come away with actionable tools to strengthen communication, enhance team performance, and lead with greater empathy and effectiveness.
