It is Our Choice.
Respect really does not come naturally. Confucius said, “Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts? So how do we express respect toward our coworkers, boss, spouse, children and friends? Here are ten recommendations:
- Listen carefully to people.
- Look every person in the eye.
- Avoid making assumptions by getting all the facts.
- Allow people to make mistakes.
- Ask people questions about their life.
- Choose to produce excellence in your work environment.
- Receive criticism graciously.
- Be an all-weather friend that people can count on.
- Greet people warmly and enthusiastically.
- Follow through on the commitments you make.
