Dude, setting expectations at what you're sure you can achieve isn't "below par". It is par you fricking dolt.

You never set the expectation at what you think you may be able to achieve
What you said.^^^
Again, "dolt" when you dont set goals, you are lowering your expectations or aiming low

Business isn't just sales, you know that right?
You do realize this same philosophy applies to pretty much the entire competitive world, dont you.
You never hear a guy say, "hey set that bar a little lower, so I know I can make it" or "Hey, lets try to finish second, so if we get first we can be happier", or "Take a few lbs off that bar, I'd like to easily lift it"
quote:
Even in sales, if you constantly promise 100 sales and only make 80, you're failing. Fact.
Do you know how good sales management weeds out the weak and lazy?...
And since you think it only refers to sales, do you know why the asian auto industry decimated the Americans? it wasnt because of sales it was because of production and standards. Go look at how they set their goals for those two items.

Dude seriously, you might be retarded........
I can't have a conversation with someone who doesn't even understand what we're discussing. I've never once mentioned goals.
Not. Once. Yet you keep talking about them.
I'm discussing the expectations that Gus is setting for his team, with the boosters, which is a top 10 defense. He said that AU "needs" a top 10 defense and that is the priority. So, what happens if they don't have a top 10 defense next year? In 2 years? In 3? Gus has failed to meet the expectations he set for himself. That is bad.
One day, when you get out of the fast food industry, you may figure out why setting expectations at a higher level than what you're capable of actually delivering is a bad thing. In the meantime, you should avoid these types of conversations.
ETA: All you have to do is google "Under promise over deliver" and read up on why it's a good strategy in customer driven businesses. Unless you are now going to try and tell me that College and professional sports aren't customer driven.
