If a 7 Cups leader has an imbalance of expectations and warmth then it can cause an environment that doesn't have the support you need or it can also cause the trainees to not hold the right expectations and have accountability for their actions.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

Too low expectations to the community would cause lack of motivation to drive the community, and also hinder progress by not knowing what to expect. Too little warmth in the community can cause a hostile, cold environment. Too low expectations impact how you work with your fellow leaders which leads to a lack-luster performance in work and limited progress. Too low warmth to your fellow leaders can negatively impact how people see you, which can affect teamwork.

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

An imbalance of expectations and warmth in a 7 Cups leader can lead to a community that either feels overly pressured or neglected. High expectations without warmth can make members feel stressed and unsupported, while warmth without expectations can lead to complacency and lack of growth.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

1. Impact on the Community: Too low expectations can result in a lack of motivation and engagement, causing members to feel unchallenged and disinterested. Too little warmth can create a cold, unwelcoming atmosphere, leading to decreased participation and a sense of disconnection among members.

2. Impact on Working with Fellow Leaders: Too low expectations can cause friction, as fellow leaders may feel that not enough is being done to drive the community forward. Too little warmth can strain relationships, making collaboration difficult and leading to a lack of trust and mutual support among leaders.

if this is to the ones around me, it would affect their growth and motivation. Most likely a decline in both, the greater the imbalance. Also, it may affect myself too if my own perception of it becomes imbalanced. 

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

1. very little growth and community may not feel as welcomed as we wish. They may be less supportive of eachother as well and some may begin to feel lonely

2. little support and feedback given to know to go improve on oneself. Little warmth may lead to lack of respect or loss of confidence

✒️ What do you think happens if you, a 7 Cups leader, have an imbalance of expectations and warmth?

I think If I were to realize I had an imbalance of expectations and warmth, I would reread our slideshow where it talks about the 7cups culture and rules.  Then I would take a break so I could get myself together and not bring unfriendliness and unwelcoming values to where I would be a leader. 

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

A imbalance of expectations and warmth would result in poor leadership skills within others in the community (in the chatrooms, forums, and in private messaging's) and within oneself by losing important leadership skills such as communication, fairness, and maturity.

When a leader has an imbalance of expectations and warmth, it can affect their effectiveness and the team's morale in several ways

*It can create a stressful environment where team members feel pressured and unsupported.

*The lack of warmth may lead to reduced trust.Team members might feel that their contributions are undervalued or that they are merely being judged by their performance rather than supported and developed.

Having low warmth and low expectations leads to lack of engagement and Poor performance 

As a leader, exhibiting both low warmth and low expectations can affect my interactions and relationships with other leaders leading to limited collaboration, diminished influence and negative perception about my ability as a leader 

@FrenchToast

So, if my expectations are too low, the community might lose its spark. People might start to feel like there’s no real goal to work towards, and the vibe could just turn kind of “meh.” Without a challenge, folks might not feel as motivated to grow—or at least that’s how I see it.

But, if you’re all about expectations and forget to show some warmth, the community might not feel all that welcoming. It’s like being seen as someone just ticking boxes instead of a real person. I remember this movie where leaders treated their team like numbers, not names, and honestly, that just feels so wrong.

Impact on Fellow Leaders:

When it comes to other leaders, low expectations can lead to everyone just coasting along. If no one’s pushing for better, the whole team might not reach its full potential. It creates this vibe where doing just enough becomes the norm, which isn’t great for anyone, right?

And if there’s not enough warmth, working with other leaders can get a bit rough. People need to feel supported and understood, not just held to some standard. Without that warmth, collaboration might suffer, and communication could start feeling more like criticism than helpful feedback.

I really think it’s all about finding that balance. When you nail it, you end up with a community that’s both motivated and supportive, and a leadership team that really works well together!

I feel like if it’s not balanced it’s hard to know what to expect, giving too much and not finding that balance can make you burn out and not have the balance instead of giving too much in one specific aspect then you won’t have the warmth for everyone else.

✒️ How do you think having too low of expectations, or too little warmth, will impact 1.) the community, and 2.) impact how you work with your fellow leaders?

The community will not know what to expect from you as it can go from one way or the other and with leaders, it will make it hard to count on one another when it’s unreliable, like a teeter totter being fully one way or the other
