Like Aretha sang it....
Respect. What is it? Something earned and something given. Often it is taken for granted.
You earn respect as a leader by being the first to do what needs to be done. But you also listen to those around you, which is giving respect. Respect for another person means you tell them the truth, even if it hurts. It is listening to both sides of the story. Respect requires fairness and equity.
How bout a little repsect for people you don't even know? Ever let someone go ahead of you in the grocery line or let a person get into traffic? Open a door for someone or just say hello. Seems we lack that kind of common decent respect that we ourselves would like.
Respect is something that comes back to us. Give it and more than likely you will receive it. Never demand it...
