Managers who remember that individuals behave toward others consistent with their expectations of them will increase their likelihood of being positive Pygmalions.

This statement is true. The Pygmalion effect refers to the phenomenon where higher expectations for performance lead to improved performance. As managers have expectations for their employees, the way they treat them can impact their behavior and ultimately their performance. When managers have positive expectations of their employees, they are more likely to act in ways that encourage and support their success.
