Respect: The Answer To All The Questions
Originally posted: May 24, 2011 on TrishMcFarlane.com
I’m going to give you the answer first, then all the questions.
The answer is RESPECT.
And now, the questions:
- What is the key to success?
- What motivates employees to come to work and really give it their all?
- What is the one thing that managers can give that has no cost but is worth more than anything?
- What is the one thing that when missing will cause employees to leave your company?
In business, we talk endlessly about how employees can be more productive. We envision the ways that we can develop their skills, give them challenging projects, and turn them into the superstars of the team. What we don’t talk enough about is respect. Respect can have varying meanings to each of us, but basically it is the act of treating someone with esteem and holding them in high regard.
Here’s the challenge
I want you to think about respect today.
And tomorrow.
And the next day.
I want you to think about the tone of voice you use with your spouse or significant other, your children, your boss, your employee, your colleagues, and people you interact with in public. I want you to just make an effort to really go out of your way to show respect. Listen more, be attentive, be open to hearing someone else’s ideas, and instead of assuming the worst about someone, assume the best.
That’s what I’ll be doing with my time…won’t you join me?
