Good Morning,
The truth is great leaders don't talk down to their employees or make them feel inferior. They make everyone that they come in contact with, feel like they are the most important person in the room. Great leaders are in the construction not the demolition business. They build people up.
You can demonstrate respect with simple, yet powerful actions. These ideas will help you avoid needless, insensitive, unmeant disrespect, too.
- Treat everyone with courtesy, politeness, and kindness.
- Listen to what others have to say before expressing your viewpoint. Never speak over, or cut off another person.
- Use employee's ideas to change or improve work.
- Never insult people, use name calling or disparage anyone.
- Praise much more frequently than you criticize.
- Respect employee's personal time. Avoid calling them after work hours or constantly expecting them to work late.
- Show interest in their professional development.
Two of the most basic human desires are validation and appreciation - we need to feel like we matter. People want to feel appreciated, respected and included. There can be no loyalty without mutual respect. Let every employee know how important and valued they are. It starts by treating them with respect. Respect is a cornerstone of meaningful work. Implemented consistently at work, these respectful actions ensure a respectful, considerate, professional workplace that can help increase employee morale, engagement and loyalty.
Enjoy the week and make it your best.
Jim
