‘Don’t minimize the power of respect.
‘Too often leaders feel that respect isn’t all that important, that it’s touch-feely and intangible. Or they’ve got thoroughbreds in their stable, brilliant geniuses who may be incredibly rough on people but are tolerated because of their valuable contributions to organizational success. Leaders who feel like this are grossly underestimating and minimizing the power of respect and the destructive nature of disrespect.’- Gregg Ward with Walter G. Meyer
When it comes to people, love and respect is everything. If you want your people to follow you, you must give them respect. It is important. Don’t underestimate the power of respect. Give it to your people, no matter what. They deserve it. And you will get it back from them.
