Don’t Underestimate The Power Of Respect

‘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.

Don’t Distract Yourself From Living Your Real Life

‘We have reached a point at which our electronic devices are distracting us almost constantly, at work and at home. Everyone’s doing it; and it’s disrespectful, even though we don’t mean it to be. And your emotional states can also be distracting. Don’t be distracted.‘- Gregg Ward with Walter G. Meyer

Don’t distract yourself from reaching your goals. Anything that is not getting you closer to where you want to be is a distraction. Stop it. If you do not stop it, you are not hurting anyone but yourself.
