I would mention cultural differences as well. Management styles differ widely over the globe. I once worked in a team where the manager was in one country, and most of the team in another on a different continent, and the different approach to working made it very hard to set and meet expectations (in both directions). I'm keeping it ambiguous on purpose, since I'm not putting any approach over another, but it helps if the manager and the employee are on the same page (or at least in the same chapter) wrt work culture.
