People respect people who respect others. If you want people to respect you, to follow you, you must ‘be the first to respect’ them.

‘Don’t wait to be treated with respect before being respectful.’

They ‘make an effort to be worthy of their respect.’

They ‘look for, and acknowledge ‘diamonds in the rough,’ those things in others that are worthy of respect.’

‘Don’t try to stop disrespect with more disrespect.’

Don’t tolerate disrespectful behavior, no matter how inconsequential it may seem.’

‘Don’t minimize the power of respect.’

‘Don’t stop practicing respectful leadership.’

‘The Respectful Leader makes a full apology for disrespect.’

‘Respectful Leaders consistently look for, find, and acknowledge those qualities, skills, and perspectives in others that are worthy of respect.’

‘Respectful Leaders do their utmost to get their emotional shift together, stay positive, and never take out their frustrations and anger on others.’

‘Don’t be distracted.’

Do not pretend to be who you are not. If you don’t like what is happening in your life, take a look at your reality.

Because you get what you pay attention to. ‘Living systems change to preserve themselves.’

‘The first act of life is to create a boundary, a membrane that is the cell’s identity. It defines an inside and an outside, what it it, what it is not.’

‘Life cannot be sustained when the boundary is too rigid. Nor can it generate new capacities and adapt to its environment if the boundary is too open.’

‘Without identity there is no life, no creation, no responsibilities, no continuation, no possibility for evolutionary change. Yet every change is motivated by an attempt to change, to preserve a self.’

‘Embody your faith. Don’t talk about it, walk it. People will notice and respond.’

‘Conversation is the technology. Curiosity, vulnerability, mutual respect give it power.’

‘Curiosity leads to adaptive responses.’
