The Pygmalion Effect: Expectations Create Success

What if I told you that you could make someone smarter, faster, or more successful...

just by thinking they are? It’s not magic—it’s the Pygmalion Effect. The Science: In

a famous study, teachers were told certain students were "academic bloomers" destined for greatness.

Even though those students were chosen at random, they actually DID perform better.

Why? Because the teachers' high expectations changed how they taught them!

The Loop: When you expect someone to succeed, you unconsciously give them more support,

better feedback, and more opportunities. They pick up on that energy, gain confidence,

and work harder. Your belief literally builds their success! The Hack: Want your team to work harder?
