00:00:00.000 Standards are what you accept, not what you communicate.

00:00:03.120 And the first moment somebody underperforms,

00:00:05.800 if you don't say anything,

00:00:07.420 indirectly you said to them, that's okay.

00:00:10.280 Then who's the a**hole if later you come back,

00:00:13.240 they do that two or three times,

00:00:14.400 and then you finally get pissed off

00:00:16.400 and you bring it up to them and they go,

00:00:18.120 well, why didn't you say anything before?

00:00:19.780 Because you wanted to be Mr. Nice Person?

00:00:21.420 No, it's because you're a chicken sh**.

00:00:22.960 So as soon as somebody underperforms,

00:00:24.640 you teach people how to treat you,

00:00:25.960 you've taught them that's okay if you don't say anything.
