Don’t Wait To Be Treated With Respect

Don’t wait for people to treat you with respect. Whatever it is that you want from other people, you must give it out. Be the first person to love people, to respect people, and to treat people with dignity.

Nothing is free. If you want love, then give love to others. If you want to be treated with respect, then treat others with respect. And it will come back to you.

According to Gregg Ward, ‘Be the first to respect. Don’t wait to be treated with respect before being respectful. Be the first to treat everyone you meet, even perfect strangers, with respect.’

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.
