Unrealistic expectations rooted in entitlement often lead to frustration and anger. Entitlement fosters hypersensitivity to perceived disrespect, inflexibility in thinking, and blame-shifting, undermining self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to manage emotions constructively in relationships and workplaces.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Recognise how entitlement-driven expectations can escalate anger and hinder teamwork or leadership effectiveness.
  • Identify entitlement tendencies within oneself or teams and apply strategies to foster humility, respect, and accountability.
  • Understand how unchecked entitlement erodes trust and morale, developing habits of gratitude, patience, and service-oriented leadership within high-stress operational environments.
