On occasion, when disappointment boils over, a leader can offer the entire team candid words or feedback through an email or lecture.
I'm typically trying to come up with the inversion or the exception to a rule like this, just to see where I might push the conversation -- on this one however, I'm thinking this might be a very edge case to come up with an exception to this rule.

There have been a few times when my leader has pulled her leadership team together to reset expectations. Mostly involves having the wrong attitude or perspective around supporting each other.

Maybe a better option would be to just meet with the leaders and have them deliver the expectations to there teams.
