Appreciate the kind words Belinda. Great summary of an important topic.
]]>You got it Kimunya. Respect is earned and additionally, what we do with that respect is the stuff that builds legacies. Thanks for jumping in!
]]>Thanks John. Great line “A title to me is meaningless unless the person holding the title demonstrates their worth … to themselves and to others.” Always appreciate your insight my friend!
]]>Good stuff Paul! Many great thoughts to consider here. I look forward to seeing this manifesto develop further.
]]>Thanks Dennis for the continued support.
]]>I loved the article and I’m with you completely on this subject. I am about respect for the person, as everyone has a value and should be valued … and you demonstrate this each time you engage!
I’ve also never been too good with deference! A title to me is meaningless unless the person holding the title demonstrates their worth … to themselves and to others.
I also loved Paul’s Respect Manifesto! Outstanding effort Paul … and thank you both so much for great inspiration today!
]]>Respect is what you value
Each person has value
How we live our life and interact with others reveals our view of that value
Value individuals and interactions over positions and processes
This is not to say that positions and processes are not important and shouldn’t be respected; they should.
But when we value relationships over rules.
And when we value individuals as much as rulers
Then we gain the respect of others too
For what we sow is what we reap.
Respect harvests respect.
This is our manifesto!
